Kaki is a research artist based in Leipzig, Germany. She studied at the HGB Leipzig and the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg. Her works deal with essential questions of political activism, nature and social coexistence from an ecofeminist perspective. Her handling of space unfolds as a complex interplay between form and substance. The working process and materials usually result from field studies or archives. Kaki’s works have been shown in various solo and group exhibitions among others in Austria, Georgia and Spain. She received residency stipends from various places, e.g. her last stay in Nairobi, Kenya.
In this upcoming journey with A. Farm, Kaki expects to explore ideas of soil through a series of interviews on personal memory, and material analysis of minerals and nutrients within the soil. Through soil, she hopes to develop not only an archiving of memories, but also a poetic speculation about possible futures. This multi-layered approach—combination of interviews, material research, soil analysis and artistic processing—interrogates questions of identity, loss, responsibility and ecological reconnection.
