The studio door remained closed for ten days after Habima Fuchs’s arrival from Prague. She was not allowed to see anyone for ten days, was alone with herself, her thoughts, and the new four walls that would be her space to create for the coming month.
What would happen if this unusual, other-directed situation were regarded not as an inhibition, but instead as catharsis? As a moment to reflect on the self, the universe, the elements, and their equilibrium? A constant companion and the sole detail of the outside world is a view of some trees, whose leaves are slowly turning yellow and red in the wind and weather. What would happen if this were regarded as a literal embodiment of the transformation of space, earth, air, fire, and water?
Habima Fuchs, who not only dedicates herself to existential, spiritual, and philosophical questions in her work, but also lives them, enables us to remember the importance of the cooperation of matter and spirit as the most suitable of all time.
On Thursday, November 5, Habima Fuchs opens her doors for one day: geometric drawings, wall paintings made from plaster remnants, the scent of “gold from Lourdes,” lines drawn with stones, candles in place of neon lights, and an atmosphere that the project studio in the Sitterwerk has never before experienced in such a way.
