Berlin, May 17th - June 6th 2008




“The repetition of the sacred action symbolically duplicates the structure and power that established the world originally. Thus, it is important to know and preserve the eternal structure through which man has life, for it is the model and source of power in the present. [… > Ritual activity moves power in two directions: (1) it concentrates it in one place, time, and occasion, and (2) it releases power into the everyday stream of events through its self-abundance–the primal vibration reverberates throughout existence. The new energy dispels the old, depleted, polluted energy; it cleanses the constricted, clogged, hardened channels of life.” (Encyclopaedia Britannica 1999)

About artist:

Born 1971 Bremen, lives and works in Berlin

In her objects, installations and performances, Beatrice Jugert explores the meaning of symbols, signs and rituals removed from their original political and social context. She seeks to discover and examine new perspectives for a correlation of the individual and the group, collective living and working situations as well as the integrity of today’s societies. The notion of utopia and mythological traditions are central to her work.
