Their feed spoke to them in a soft voice: Will you remember us, Rose? Won’t you forget the way we have followed you since we were born? The way we developed ourselves, grew past you. And flew to another universe.
Let us travel, lovely blossom, but don’t forget us. I promise that... We will see each other and walk together. Don’t forget.

An Internal Encounter is an art installation with pencil drawings, stone carved sculptures, embroidery and gestures in which Lore Pilzecker researches the absence of a loved one. Coping with the stillness, the artist discovers her own alternative reality in which the distinction between growth and demise becomes blurry. In the drawings and sculptures, Lore plays with symbols that refer to loss of life. An example is the Rose, a flower you could lay on a grave in respect to a deceased person.
