Spuren der Sonne

Project type: Diplom
In my artistic work, one of my focuses is concerned with the various aspects of the sun as being a source of energy, star, symbol, myth as well as a reference for cosmic-mathematical parameters. In spring 2014, I travelled to different pre-Columbian sun temples in Bolivia, Colombia and Peru and decided to work at these places. There, in the Andean region, exists the highest density of these huge architectural constructions, which are oriented towards the movement of the sun. For the pre-Columbian Andean society – for the Incas or even for an earlier civilization – these constructions had a deep cosmological and ritual significance. Among other things, they were used as a calendrical systems. The firm anchoring of these places in the cultural memory of the Andes is still reflected in vibrating and living myths, in stories, architecture and rituals.
