TEXT
RAW – (Material) #1: Sand

Freibad Plotzensee – Berlin


All the clichés about warm sand, basically!

Sun drenched, radiant warmth, radiation – warmth absorbed into the very atoms of the material

Sand grains – tiny smooth little grains of glass – soft texture – soft & grainy at the same time – gets into everything – coarse & smooth

Skin in response to soft grainy warmth & sunshine

Luxurious – luxuriate
feels like therapy
like a spa treatment

… imprints from body into sand - swirls, flattening, smoothing, rivets, grooves, circular gestures “sand angels” spirals, surrounding rounding

Sand sticking to sweat – providing extra layer of skin “sand paper skin”

Maintaining constant contact with sand – body flat against surface – shifting rolling pouring the body
body pouring like liquid
sand pouring like liquid

(floor massage / cat stretch exercise)
