In „Who was aunty Lotti“ Jola Hauschild diggs into her great-great-aunt’s past, entangling family history. By refurbishing and taking on an old weaving loom that was passed down to her, she begins connecting loose ends, weaving them into a fabric until the weaving chair slowly starts to fall apart, leaving holes in the fabric. These holes could be interpreted as a collective cultural blind spot in German society, as far-right and fascist parties in Germany again gain terrifying momentum.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jola Hauschild works both in the field of scenography and on independent projects that blend textile design and fine art. In her work, she explores emotional connections and the relationship between people and materials, as well as implicit ways of engaging with objects. She views materials as carriers of stories and memories, whose provenance is as integral to the work as the social processes that unfold around them. In doing so, she draws on classical methods of textile design, such as the technique of weaving, whilst also employing free artistic methods.
