Extraction and Exploitation is an installation that combines two heterogeneous pieces resulting from an in-situ work in Hundorf and sharing the same concept, the same reflection about our attitude towards our environment (more specifically resources) and time.Extraction questions the impulse to exact and extort through a performance in which the artist “extracts” sand with her fingertips only, gently stroking the halfway-gone hill in Hundorf that serves as an open-access sand mine. She then uses the sand for the Exploitation sculpture, the excess-ridden hourglass.
