The artist couple Thomas & Ren\u00e9e Rapedius has been at Operndorf Afrika for a few weeks with the\u00a0artist-in-residence stipends of the federal state of Berlin.<\/p>\n
In their artistic work they deal with forms, structures and patterns. The result is abstracted objects, drawings and photographs that often assemble them into multi-layered installations revolving around dialectical opposites such as nature and culture, similarity and difference, perception and memory.<\/p>\n
In Burkina Faso, they follow the design and structuring of surfaces: the overlapping path systems of the flat plateau of the savannah, the narrow woven fabrics with reduced patterns and the symbolic surface design of the Kassena architecture.<\/p>\n
With the pupils of the Operndorf School, they hold various workshops in which the children observe and draw their life and their surroundings or fold paper objects.<\/p>\n
In the photo you can see the makeshift sunshade, which they have built from the 168 bottles of drinking water they have consumed in recent weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
