After the residencies, the invited artists left archival leftovers. A selection of these is accessible here, offering a glimpse into their artistic processes since 2020.
EDITION I
Archival leftovers
by
Asís Ybarra, Laure Catugier, Alan Affichard and Aiko Shimotsuma
June 2020
Ybarra collected fragments of talks between the co-founders of the residency and himself. While the document has a formal aesthetic, the listed elements are avoid of hierarchy, and show how artistic processes may also be penetrated by the informal, without excluding a seductive interpretation of the quotidian.

Affichard recorded sound pieces in the nearby environment of the residency and composed them in the site-specific performance Elpmas Series #2. Affichard left the preparatory scores to the residency. Lines, dots, arrows and words float, like musical notes, on a torn page.

July 2020
Catugier made a significant survey of the historical event called “Dächerkrieg” (1928). A collision of opposing architectural visions in Berlin-Zehlendorf. She depicted on a cut out paper two extremely expressive lines that illustrate the aesthetic division represented by the avant-garde and the traditionalists of the Stuttgart School, major architectural movements of the Weimar Republic.

Shimotsuma’s works trigger tangible and intangible phenomena, in which the viewer plays a central role as an active observer and interpreter. Material research carried out during her time at an· other here led to two site-specific installations. She left two related mementos: an encapsulated scented essence and a delicate photo-etching depicting the Schlachtensee lake.

EDITION II
Archival leftovers
by
Dounia Chemsseddoha and Lisa Hoffmann
September 2022
In the course of her creative residency, Dounia Chemsseddoha produced a series of ceramics featuring intricate pedestals and corollas. Each piece has been shaped and glazed by the artist. The corollas become active through a performative gesture when healing waters are poured into their hollows.
An activation was captured during “Kernophoria” in Montbrun-les-Bains.

During her research residency, Lisa Hoffmann explored through strollology (the science of wandering) the outcrops in the surrounding area. In a furtive gesture, she gleaned natural elements taken from the immediate landscape that she assembled in a medal-like composition. How this amalgam will change with the years to come, how it will become part of the place, and how will it be populated – by lichen, moss, insects…?

EDITION IV
Archival leftovers
by
Pierre Boggio, Julie Escoffier and Gisèle Gonon
November 2024
After the end-of-residency event, Boggio left behind one of his dishes made of Indian Summer grog clay during his time in Berlin. Inspired by the city’s colorful autumn, he produced more than 30 pieces, which were later used as part of one of his performative activations. In parallel with this daily production, he collected new recipes and designed them in a portable booklet, the cooking book

Escoffier left behind one of her first witches’ stones, made of colophane (pine resin) and embedded with a micro piezo transducer connectable to a sound system. By combining a natural material with DIY technology, the object becomes an active, tactile interface, inviting participants to listen—through touch—to the inner resonance of the colophane.

Gonon left behind a hand-crafted flipbook in which the image of a tarpaulin lifting in the wind unfolds frame by frame. The object traces part of the visual research Gonon carried out within the natural cirque surrounding the residency.
