Cremeschnitte
Installation
2025
This project explores the notion that language, an encrypted code system, often unwittingly serves as a means to distinguish one group of people from another. It examines the naming of cremeschnitte as a shibboleth for identification, representing at the same time inclusion and exclusion.
By deconstructing cremeschnitte and withholding its name, the installation reassembles its meanings - no longer a singular dessert, but a cultural structure layered with collective and personal history - inviting viewers to reflect on how shared traditions are continually remade through the personal, the political, and the material.
