An Idea: the attigit.projekt Susanne Krell Creating a rubbing of a location means coming in physical contact with an (intellectual) edifice. For me, rubbings represent the forms of order,
the regulations and the ideas for which the respective building stands. The concept for this project arose during a visit to the prehistoric stone rows
and dolmens in the Breton site of Carnac several years ago while in search of a suitable opportunity to take something from a place, yet without destroying it: The building, the infrastructure of ideas, typically retains its physical location. For the attigit.projekt, three monotheistic religions were taken up in the form of rubbings of buildings representative of each. Each structure journeys to the other by means of the frottage. Through transportation of the frottage to another location, where it is brought in contact with another building, a new dimension emerges. The result is contact among the ideas themselves.
