A burial ceremony for insects on the Chemnitz.
accompanied by Chemnitz Musica e.V. Choir
Dedicated to the microcosm.
We are not the guardians of this garden. We are only granted a glimpse from time to time.
We make forays through diverse worlds, walk through relationships of which we are not aware. A treasure chest has been opened under leaves and roots: so much beauty, so much regret. Crystal eyes and armor like jade – jewels inherited from early mutations. Each ommatidium casts a different light.
Broken limbs, dusty wings; calmed by the stream, cleansed by the current.
´Kleine Herzen unser, Garten bittersüß´ is a gentle happening and a symbolic gesture of care. The burial ritual invites us to commemorate the everyday trauma in our immediate environment, while poetically organizing our unresolved feelings as interconnected beings embodied in the landscape.
