Social Fabric Earth Return

This book is the travel diary of a handwoven poncho with the keynote of interconnectedness. Over a period of ten years, the poncho was sent out as a textile avatar to meet various artists around the world, always handed over in person. The interactions with the poncho, through photography and correspondence, sketch out the journey and tell a story of togetherness in a world that has changed drastically over those years. The project inspires the questions: What is the most essential element of what you do, and how can it be shared in a significant way.

Collectively woven tapestries and video exhibited at Bärenzwinger, Berlin

Claudia Hill is a Berlin-based artist who uses the artistic method of weaving to explore themes of connectivity. She weaves large-scale tapestries on a century-old loom, a practice that evolved out of her work as a costume designer for choreographers and directors for theatre and film. The process of weaving serves for Hill and her collaborators as an empowering act of transformation. Her work is presented internationally in the context of performance and visual art.(More)
