Installation @Kiez Burn, Mecklenburg Vorprommen - August 22
In collaboration with Kia Kali This was Kiez Burn’s first temple. The topic of Transmutation was chosen to invite participants to reflect upon the completeness of self, and that change is not a process of removal or addition, but to transform something old to something new. Amidst the art and the fun of the event, this space was a tranquil haven of solitude and beauty. Particiapants were invited to walk around the willow structure, and then sit and write and reflect upon what it is they wished to transmute.
Following were the instructions to complete the transmutaiton: - “Whisper it to the air to let it go” - “Dip it in the water so it can flow” - “Then bury it in the earth so it might grow” At the end of the event, we hosted a ceremony for several hours in which participants could burn their transmutations in silence, completing the final instruction – “place it in the fire, so it may glow”. Over 100 participants attended the ceremony, and not a word was spoken amongst them for several hours, a truly transcendent experience.
