This installation deals with the subject matter of landscape and food. The focus is on the role of grain, which has been a staple food since the Stone Age on the one hand and an important raw material, point of contention and economic factor on the other. Starting with individual grains of wheat (which are only about 3 mm in size), the project develops into an interwoven story and forms the background for the performance 'erde (kuchentafel)'.
