Cold morning hours, early spring
37 young field researchers set off in search of non-human life in unusual places: a cemetery and a so-called wasteland. With eyes closed to hear and smell better, with small fingers to feel rough and wet surfaces, with wild imagination to feel who lives 5 cm, 15 cm, 1 m deep in the earth. They looked for hollows and found footprints of millipedes. The experiences were recorded in drawings with natural colors from materials collected on site, and on ceramic sculptures burned collectively in a self-made stove in a teacher’s garden.
