\u201cWhat does it mean to realize?\u201d<\/strong>
Traces of Decreation.
Pavillon Sicli, Geneva, May 16\u201330, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fraktalwerk will be a guest for two weeks at the \u201cPavillon Simone Weil<\/a>\u201d in Geneva, Switzerland \u2013 a place of shared thinking, reading and exchange created by the Swiss artist and initiator of the project Thomas Hirschhorn. Fraktalwerk was invited to participate by the Simone Weil Collective\/Berlin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pavilion is not an exhibition space, it is a workshop. Thomas Hirschhorn is not concerned with the aesthetics of the object, but with the energy of the thinking process. Conceived as an \u201cephemeral monument\u201d to Simone Weil, the Pavilion is nevertheless intended to leave traces and to encourage people to read Simone Weil\u2019s texts, engage with them, and continue thinking them together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marlen Wagner, Sonja Knoll and Robert Krokowski present their readings of Simone Weil\u2019s texts in the Pavilion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaking one\u2019s own thing and a common cause,\u201d following this programmatic approach of Fraktalwerk, the artist book Traces of De-Creation<\/a><\/em> was created exclusively for \u201cPavillon Simone Weil,\u201d which will be available there for two weeks. Robert Krokowski, Sonja Knoll and Marlen Wagner present in it a very particular reading of selected texts by Simone Weil. Through means of blackout poetry, new texts in German emerge which, translated into French, also offer another reading in Weil\u2019s mother tongue. Robert Krokowski\u2019s \u201cLetters of the Angels<\/a>,\u201d Sonja Knoll\u2019s embroidered signs<\/a> and Wagner\u2019s bark script comment on this reading. The technical construction of the book makes it possible to turn the pages in different ways and to newly constellate the pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking up the workshop character of the Pavilion, an FW installation by Robert Krokowski invites the audience and other participants to become part of the working process themselves: to leave behind a red trace that connects with others \u2013 and to give an object that has long since lost its usefulness a new, different one within the artistic process. Everyone may bring objects that were once used in everyday life \u2013 but are no longer used, are damaged, or whose very mode of use has been forgotten. These objects will be installed and photographed. Participants are invited to leave behind a story and a trace of red thread. Together with visitors and participants, an open space for encounter, conversation and collaborative work emerges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second week, from May 23 to 30, the dancer and choreographer Libertad Esmeralda Iocco<\/a> and Juan Paz Cruz will plan, prepare and present their projects on site, in dance and movement, in the collecting and working of stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
