HOLDING ONTO – FLOWERS – RUSHNYK
Text by Johanna Folkmann
TO HOLD ONTO SOMETHING SO TIGHT, YOU HAVE ALREADY LOST
Entering the landing zone first time after our scouting mission, I was standing on what had become of one of the small sheds somehow in the time span of around two months.There I stood in its ruins, looking on shattered parts and materials. Before I had not even dared to enter, no lock I dared to open, no bottle I dared to take out of the inclining wooden shelf, no flowers I dared to step on to access the inside. Instead, I peeped inside, watched the spiderwebs moved by the wind, the walls and their colours partly coming off in little pieces but still sufficiently stuck on to give a clear picture of what had once been.
