The symbol
A circle with a dot in the center: A symbol full of visual tranquility and substantial significance. It is used as a traffic sign, in astronomy and astrology, in alchemy, among scouts, in mathematics, philately, as a tool for meditation, and so on. It could represent an eye. Or a target. Or a female breast?
We have chosen this symbol to precisely integrate our artistic positions into the project URBANE STILLE. If it stands for the female breast, then it stands for everything people can, want to, and may associate with it, relevant to everyone on the scale between woman and man. Relevant to every infant, every relationship, every neighborhood, every society. Relevant to humanity.
The location - Nikodemuskirche
The church as a place of rest and silence is increasingly forgotten within urban cacophony. FEMMESPHERES occupies this space with feminine energy and intention - STILL/-NESS. Perhaps this is a new, contemporary approach to creating a vibrant community.
The concept
The six FEMMESPHERES artists activate the Nikodemuskirche - the exterior, the interior, and the path in between - with vastly different interpretations of the symbol, inviting stillness, pause, and reflection. The artistic palette ranges from paste-ups to AR to video projection and performance. Each artist shapes her works personally and with her distinctive means, all, however, united by the use of the symbol, offering viewers the possibility to reflect on their very personal needs, perhaps even to still them, and, transcending the individual, to grasp the concept of being part of a community.
