SILVER together

what if silver is the color of dancing?
what if dancing is nothing but a missing child, silver coated and unlawfully reproduced?

One hundred silver coats lose their way and turn gloomy, like missing children who don’t know whether to cry or play.

For the most part, the coats remain empty, as if they were shells of homeless things. Then they wrap their surface around a tree, climb up the wall, fall headfirst, roll over a bush and build a shelter. Visitors follow the coats, squinter their gaze, listen to the landscape as it shifts our horizon. We stay just a moment, linger overtime.

SILVER is a series of images, courted and confirmed. Simple in both form and strategy, SILVER is nothing but a frame for unexpected outfalls, an open window to serendipity. A playground in awe of the complexity of its own game.

The participants follow the coats, gaze out over the landscape. Capture an emotion, help the coats to change their story.
Participation in SILVER is guided by the ccap-team. All is welcome to par-take. Only for a short moment or however long one desires.
