Constructive
and artistic work with earth in collaboration with children
20
years ago I started to built huge sculptures, ovens and finally
little villages out of earth. Children and adults are welcome
to share our work - wherever it is done - since then.The project
is based on first experiences in Berlin, but nowadays it is
well known amongst earth-builders all across Europe. The objects
have become weatherproof and longlasting, a lot of permanent
huts and sculptural works have been realised at Berlins Britzer
Garden. |

...not only in Berlin:
Interglotz
earthworks is ready to travel! In
Weil der Stadt we launched the biggest festival on earthbuilding,
Europe has ever seen. The 'Lehmprojekt' gathered about 3000
pupils and groups of children together. Even a lot of adults
and about 100 helpers of all ages shared the building and playing
with clay. This kind of an "earthmarathon" lasted
two weeks. 50 tons of earth on a huge field of sculptures were
left and stayed in situ for several months.
...it's artwork
The figurative sculptures weigh about 5-10
tons. They are built around wooden skeletons or just in adobe
technique. Inside the sculptures children can hide , stay or
play. Our new generation of works (like huts walls and pavillons)
are based on stones and weather-proof. Good foundations
and roofs are being constructed, to let them last.

The
aspect of teaching building skills
(in woodcarving and earthbuilding) is going along with the
joy to use a natural material, and acting out a lot of creativity.
Our kind of teamwork educates a spirit of community among
the participants and develops a relationship with the structures
made by one's own hands - for example on selfconstructed playgrounds.
In this way, we are trying to reconnect and unify the idea
of playing and working.
Music
performances, drumming art in free nature and just relaxing
your body and soul is the name of the game.
