Elvira Wersche?s sand performances essentially revolve around growth and <br />decay ? as in desert landscapes that are moulded by the wind into ever-new <br />formations and structures, which are in their turn eventually destroyed by <br />sandstorms. At the end of her performance, the artist too mixes up those <br />sand structures that have been built up so laboriously, out of <br />different-coloured types of sand from all parts of the world, and in this <br />way the image perishes; in fact it decays, in the proverbial manner, into <br />dust. What makes this art unique is therefore not what remains and can be <br />looked at, but what changes and can be experienced in its growth and decay.
