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.
