On Earth2022 The exhibition On Earth engages with the seemingly familiar elements of our immediate surroundings, foregrounding materials and surfaces we often overlook. At its center is a three-part cast of the end-grain parquet floor from the heritage-listed former “Steingießerei” — a surface deeply inscribed with traces of labor and use. Recontextualized as a site-specific installation, the piece invites a renewed spatial and historical encounter. Complementing this are vitrines containing collected soil samples, charred branches sourced from wildfire sites on Elba, and earth washed across glass plates, evoking sedimentary layers and abstracted landscapes. Together, these works propose a re-sensitization to matter, gesture, and the geopoetic dimension of place.
