Installation Ice Age
- in Konsum shop in Baitz, 1995
Starting point for the installation in the Konsum shop in the village of
Baitz in Brandenburg was the furniture of the shop, which had been used
during the former operation of that shop in the GDR. There were two big
chest freezers, model Grönland (Greenland), and one tall
refrigerator, which looked like a wardrobe, model Grönland
(Greenland) too.
Initial approach was to get these iceboxes again to work. They were
filled with stones from the moraine landscape of Baitz and surroundings.
You find these stones at the borders of the fields, where the farmers
have picked them up from the fields and by the work of many years have
piled them up. These stones were freezed together with water in the
refrigerators.
