The Year of the Carnation: Verena Sieber-Fuchs

Verena Sieber-Fuchs is a master at crocheting her daily life. She is a furious collector of everything around her, from medicine blisters to orange paper, stamps, beads, newspaper cuttings, garlic and onion peelings, etc. Everything is ritually and carefully stored to talk about pleasures, sorrows or politics. It’s a game with all kinds of materials and, above all, without precious materials so that these, the everyday ones, can gain that status.
