this exhibition was originally developed for the Kunstverein Stifterhorn, Neuenkirchen in the Lueneburger Heide and adapted to the new architectonic setting of this quasi-embassy of the state of Niedersachsen to the capital Berlin.
It consists of interviews - in relationship to the local dialect and its own history - as well as a series of art works: photographs (replaced here with doormats as support for the basic Platt-sentences), objects and a web site:
