In her latest
show at "la-condition-japonaise" she will exhibit a installation called
"Kristall", which is a result of her reflection on books. Books are
like crystals products of a process, which need a lot of time. While
crystals are results of a natural process, books are results of time
consuming human thinking processes. When Megumi Fukuda found
accidentally some old antique books - crystals of knowledge - in the
streets of berlin, she decided to make to works with them. These
ownerless books were crystalized by treating them with special folding
techniques. Since you can't read the content of the books anymore they
open you a imagininary space, which could be inspired by the titles of
the books. People who know the content of the books can conclude from
the content to the form of the crystal. Those who don't know the
content conclude from the form to the content.
