Get into the flow of writing here

Elisabeth Huber has experienced something in her life that she wants to process in her first autobiographical novel. She cared for her grandfather for 10 years. Until his death. Elisabeth is now 36 years old. The scenes have already been written. She had to do this to clear her head during this time. But to bring these scenes into a good storyline, she needed time and space above all. She got it in our art hermitage. This is where Liz, as she likes to be called, got into the flow of writing. Sometimes she only realized after 12 hours that it was already dark outside and she hadn't even thought about eating yet. At home, she only had one or two hours at a time.

Focus on the essentials without WLAN

Between her writing phases, Liz went for walks in the countryside. The ideas come all by themselves, she says. In general, she had the feeling that time was moving at the right speed. Not being stressed in the productivity of writing; that's what she liked best about this place in nature. Unfortunately, the Munich native doesn't know this silence from her everyday life. But she never felt lonely here. With so many animals around them, there was always something to see.
Having no WiFi on site was also crucial for the flow and their productivity. This meant she wasn't tempted to follow every impulse immediately and was able to focus better.

However, due to the acute flooding at home, the author unfortunately had to leave after just one week. Save the contents of the cellar with diaries and memories.

Läuft man mit offenen Augen durch den Landschaftspark und lässt im unteren Bereich des Parks den Blick etwas länger über den zukünftigen Teich schweifen, wird man feststellen, dass sich dort etwas verändert hat. An art installation has been created there by the hands of artist Vincenzo Fiore Marrese. During his two-week stay at the art hermitage on Rietzer Berg, he created various elements from found, man-made objects in combination with natural materials.
The artist from Florence, who has been living in Berlin for several years, has already created several installations in which individual elements combine to form a complete work of art. However, these were always indoors, so his aim was to create such a work of art in nature. The process begins with observation and the search for a suitable environment. Vincenzo also spent a lot of time going for walks and looking for suitable materials in the surrounding area.
As a land art artist, you are naturally prepared for the fact that the artwork will change its appearance over time and at some point will no longer be there. But it shouldn't happen quite as quickly as on the one day when a dog came into Vincenzo's art environment and dug a big hole in the middle of it. After a brief shock, however, he decided to integrate the hole and quickly built another element in combination with the hole.
Vincenzo enjoys working with other artists and has been organizing an international art festival in Berlin for a few years now ("Preserve memories, provide energy"), which aims to bring international artists together with local people.
