Innermost at the Outmost
1.10. -14.10.2011 Lizard, Cornwall, England
When your inside lets itself be touched
by the soft play of colour of these hills and slopes
crossed by walls
implanted over centuries
when reaches you
the landscape that has been
shaped by countless generations
then also you would be
touched by this deepest feeling of home
a home
that exceeds you
so wide
in space and time.

Breathe
Breathe the power of this earth
Breathe the sky and the light
Breathe movement and change
Breathe
Breathe
take it in and let it go
feel what is behind you
where you grew from
and who you are now
Breathe
Breathe into your shell
your wrap, support and limits
breathe into what is rigid and hard
to be reached by vastness and growth
Savely back in Germany, thoroughly happy.
Deeply thankful to the people and landscape of Cornwall.
This project would not have worked without the support of many people. To name just two of them who helped bringing planning and development to a success, despite our many doubts:
Gabriela Sommer could not go on this trip but had a major part in preparing and organizing the installation.
Antje Hawich accompanied the project in Cornwall.
The "Gemeinnützige Treuhandstelle Hamburg" (GTS) gave generous financial support to the project.
Support I received in Cornwall is described in the project chronology. People of the West Coast Path Team, Natural England/ Lizard, National Trust Lizard and other individuals became very much involved with 'the innermost at the outmost'. They helped to make the idea a reality and a long lasting beautiful interpersonal experience as well.
Thank you for visiting us!
