Lisa Bögli - Endlich Schaumbad

Description

There sits a clown in her nostalgic living space with the transience in the foam bath. She seeks relaxation, wants to cling to her daily routine, but what she encounters is finiteness. "The most important things I always forget," she notes. What she has forgotten, she no longer knows in the next moment, because after a breath and a mountain of dishes, she already finds the beginning of a new memory, from which she lets herself be carried away. Using old objects, she creates transformable foam figures, makes them dance, fly, and have conversations with each other. With the material of foam and soap bubbles, which embody fragility and transience, the artist creates moment poetry. A meeting turns into a farewell, and while figures emerge, transform, and fade away, tragedy and comedy touch each other: like on a carousel, a figure spins around on an old umbrella until it literally loses itself in the air. Two lovers share a bench and merge. In the finiteness of the moment—and thus of life—the pure happiness becomes tangible. Lisa Bögli invites you to pause, dream, and forget yourself for the duration of the piece. With foam figures, soap bubble art, clowning, dance, and without many words, she pushes to the edge of time; where freedom becomes perceptible in the spirit.
