Not That Deeper - Gregor Leiprecht & Konstantin Pütz

From June 27 to August 22, visitors were able to experience the exhibition ›Wasser und andere Kostbarkeiten‹ featuring works by Gregor Leiprecht and Konstantin Pütz at Der Kleine Laden, the new exhibition space of PACT Zollverein in Essen-Katernberg. The exhibition explored the appeal of water as a source of life and a place of human encounter.

In mythology, jackdaws, magpies and other corvids are mistakenly said to have a preference for shiny objects. Our own fascination with glittering things can be traced back to a primal instinct: the search for water. In collaboration with Konstantin Pütz, Gregor Leiprecht transformed the exhibition space into a pub, a living room or a karaoke bar – with a fountain in the centre from which water gushes, flooding the area and literally making the gathering ‘fluid’.

The exhibition is over – but for those who missed it, there is one last chance to experience the fountain: the installation can be seen in front of the entrance to PACT until September 30.
