Dokumenta13!

The main reason we went to Kassel was to see Dokumenta13. (A famous art festival taking place every 5 years)
We did indeed see a lot of art, and our feet were so soar in the end from walking around and standing still.
My favorites were without a doubt Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller's forest soundinstallation, which made me think that I was back in the 1600's. and Tino Segal's performance taking place in the dark. I don't have any pictures of either of them one being a soundinstallation the other being in the dark, but here are a bit of the other things that we saw.

Beehive head by Pierre Huyghe


Reflection Room by Marcos Lutyens, a room where every thing is reflected to make it look like a mirror. On the pictures it can really fool.

Very impressive sewing workshop in wood by István Csákány

A long impressive timeline done in magazine/newspaper clip outs by Geoffrey Farmer. I wish we would have had a bit more time to go through that, but we came right before closing and were told to go schnell durch
