Bruno’s Teapot, 2025
8 x 10 inch / 20 x 25 cm
Digital Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag
part of the Water Damage Print Sale in support of einBuch.haus
For the Calendar 2025 exhibition at einBuch.haus on the topic of ‘time’, one of the ideas was the accumulation of used tea bags in a teapot. Besides daily use and ritual, tea bags are connected to the topic by their brewing time, often indicated on the labels.
The teapot itself is related to time and books: In 2024, I visited the home of Bruno Schröder (+2022) in Mettingen, one of the biggest private collections of books in Germany, which was to be dissolved, together with the household. I took some books from there — and this teapot.
The idea goes further back: In Books to Do, presented 2023 at einBuch.haus, there is a book project, Nr. 70, The Book of Tea, a calendar with paper wrappings of teabags as inlays.
