Skating through colored clouds: a procession begins and ends. Muschelkalkwagen was conceived in collaboration with the curator Sandra Reimann at the Museum Tinguely, Basel for the annual Draisin Derby in Dreispitz, near Basel. Muschelkalkwagen
is both a floating stage and a sound piece. The performance expressed the effort of working through the process, embodying the hardship and the magic of art labor.
