Mobile Archive: „I don’t know what to do with climate change, so I wear a new dress and come here.“ – Meka Maratova

Karin Bergdolt

Adorned with a warning west, a performance artist makes interventions in the streets of Munich: she engages passers-by in conversations about climate change, she distributes bibliographical lists and postcards to spread and continue the dialogue. Her work is to spread the information and increase the dialogue on this timely topic.

The mobile archive is part of the project ClimateSights – organized by PLATFORM3 and WECF in September 2011.,

Conceived by artist Karin Bergdolt, the "mobile archive" resonates an international workshop on the topic of climate change. For the workshop, artists from Bosnia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Germany, as well as scientists from different disciplines, were invited to discuss climate change, working together to develop artistic responses. Karin Bergdolt’s mobile archive looks back at the project, documenting and transforming it into her own artistic response. The mobile archive will be present at a number of different events taking place in Munich as part of the city-wide celebration Klimaherbst.
