Hamburg, 2017

meeting and working with Jin Young Kim the first time. I had a rough idea in my head about body paint, sand ritual
very much inspired by my recent visits to burning man usa, my curiousity about butoh, my former project with Alyssa on Butoh, and the ritual paintings worldwide. Completely unsure if I could convince Jin to participate into this or if I just do some other pictures at the nearby lake.

We actually did not really talk or plan a lot .. just drove to the location, I asked if I could paint her and then I started with some painting and all other steps evolved over the time as a dance in art and paint and sand and photography.
The vibe was trust and I felt accepted and felt welcomed to explore my changing painting on her step by step and layer on layer, as Jin also contributed to modify these with the sand and movements..
