Catalogue in German and English: PDF
The bronze figure, accompanied by a monumental handkerchief, combines elements of the Memory Person (collar, bag), the Münchner Kindl (an iconic symbol of Munich), and the Morris Dancers. The bronze figure is a textile cover that can be imagined as worn by various characters, merging into a knotted piece of textile. It assembles fragments of Munich's history of exile and migration, made tangible through clothing, the garment industry, and media ephemera.
The bronze sculpture Handkerchief and its accompanying textile counterpart symbolize zeitgeist, tears, illnesses, stories, flirting, and farewells, revealing the hidden narratives and qualities often overlooked in monuments.
