The installation “The Temple” is the model for a place that combines artistic, social, sensual, and metaphysical aspects. The intersection of ancient temple architecture with a bath in AT the center, surrounded by steps for resting and chatting in a peculiar light that tempts you to perceive the world in a completely different way, creates a multi-sensory atmosphere of contemplation. In the temporary architecture conceived for the exhibition “Nature and State” at the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, Ersan Mondtag staged the choreography “becoming sculptures” with five actors. The performance reflects various situations of the transformation of the physical into the spiritual, as well as the movement of liberation from normative boundaries.
