Decentered in the room, the rice circle lies on the floor and resembles a lunar disc. He exudes calm, testifying to the long, concentrated work of the artist. The rice reflects light as the moon reflects the light of the sun. The circle is an archetype, the reference to the stars is its origin. He symbolizes perfection and refers to the secrets of life and death. The sleeping grains lie close by and side by side until awakened by the elements of light, water and earth to new life.

24 so-called jewels stand majestically upright, unstable on the smallest floor area. Their tips aspire heavenwards. A breeze could make them tip over. Katharina Rähmi explains: „Its shape comes from the Asian world. A jewel is something very precious, also called grain or rice grain. It symbolizes growth, change and the constant return as a plant.“ The arrangement is reminiscent of an atomic model. Energy and movement are immanent to everything - but still materia and solid matter appear hard and immobile.

GREINA PROJECT — GREINA PROJECT

1983

From 1980 to 1984, Katharina Rähmi realized the Greina project together with the architect and designer Leo Balmer. They exposed themselves to the rugged nature of the Greina, a high plateau in the Swiss Alps. The «Urhüttenzelt», the original first dwelling drove the two. Thus, among other things, this resulted in several works in the style of fabric tents, «Zeltdach», 1982, «Urhüttenzelt», 1983 and «Baldachin», 1984. In a three-part publication they show found visual material as well as photographs, drawings, sketches, drafts and illustrations of works. They write: «The reason for the project is as multifaceted and multi-layered as its intended form and the purposes it is to fulfill. Neither the plan nor the execution can be clearly described. It is probably a research and exploration project, but not of common conception of science. The term ‚Gesamtkunstwerk‘ fits better, though not in the sense of ‚opera‘, rather in the sense of ‚circus‘.» In the summer of 1983, the Greina project was shown as a solo exhibition by the Galerie Stampa in Basel.
