The dome-like scultpure in Situ was created during our 10 day artist-residency at DKB Foundation at Schloss&Gut Liebenberg. For this project we wanted to make use of the locally available resources such as field stone, ash and old brick stones and test it as building material in order to create a work for the site with the materials from the site. We experimented with production processes in order to avoid the need for additional materials for molds and created tools that allow for circular extrusion. After drying the 24 extruded rings were stacked on top of each other in the middle of the castles garden. The interplay of the materials and the production method results in a dome-like sculpture that brings the principle of corbled domes into the present time. A construction phenomenon which developed in different countries, where locally collected stones were piled up in dry construction to form huts to solve two problems at the same time: the fields used for cultivation were freed from excessively occurring stones and at the same time usable shelters were created from them.
