TAASAESAFT

The project “Taasaesaft – Re-fresh, rhythmic drip, one sip.” by Rahel Kraft and Tomoko Hojo focuses on a process-oriented exploration of the history of Gais as a whey cure resort. The duo specifically investigates stories related to healing processes and analyzes how the theme of “spa” or “healing” is present in contemporary times. This has resulted in a multi-layered installation and daily interventions in the village as well as on the festival grounds of Klang Moor Schopfe.

The installation invited visitors to reflect on healing processes, recurring routines, endurance, and patience. A sip, a walk, another sip, a breath. The rhythmic dripping of the whey echoed in old wooden bowls, once used as milk vessels for cheese production and repaired multiple times over the years. These scars bear witness to appreciation, care, and connection – a recurring cycle.
