Collaboration with Helli Müller and Young Valley Soil

Dialogue Two takes place between the artist Helena Müller and the Young Valley Soil collective (Elina Saalfeld, Elisa Nessler, Francisca Markus, and Cristina Rüesch). While the Young Valley Soil collective asks us to form an “O” with our mouths, Helena Müller invites us on a steam tour after sunset. In their showcase exhibitions, the artists enter into a dialogue about processes of visualization: of gender stereotypes, coded meanings, and the coincidental permanence of interpersonal encounters or of alliances with one another. The glass panes of the showcases are of special importance here: the artists resist their spatial limitations, using both their interior and their exterior. They expand them audibly, but also performatively, as mediators of revealing and concealing. This is a beginning.
