Wanderkasten: Bir Gün, Bir Dalga (One Day, One Wave)
2022 – ꩜
wood, paper reel, carrying strap
approx. 11 × 31 × 11 cm; paper: 30 meter.
The Wanderkasten is a mobile storytelling
and archival object that I developed and
carried with me during several years of travel.
Inside the wooden case is a spool with a
30-metre-long paper strip on which drawings,
texts and traces of encounters accumulated
over time.The paper strip can be gradually
unrolled, revealing fragments of experiences,
observations and memories.
As a portable sculpture, the Wanderkasten
moves between object, archive and narrative
space. It is both a container and a device for
collecting, recording and retelling.
