In 2020 I lived in the Künstlerhaus Lauenburg for five months. From my room I could see and hear the flowing Elbe all day long. I recorded the sounds and movements of the Elbe in notes and sketches in order to translate them into my own visual language. From the resulting new vocabulary I created a large-format graphic score, with this format allowing me to physically follow the movements of the Elbe while drawing. In a next step, the depicted wave movements are to be set to music by musicians, thus adding another dimension to the work.
