    9 Steps To More Self Care

    Katja Berger & Verena Tscherner
    2024 - 2026














    These works have emerged from the collaboration between Verena Tscherner and Katja Berger. Each is based on a word from Charlie Chaplin’s speech 
    “When I began to love myself…,” which was inspired by a text by Kim McMillen.




    SELF-AWARENESS, AUTHENTICITY, RESPECT, MATURITY, SIMPLICITY, SELF-LOVE,  MODESTY, AWARENESS, WISDOM OF THE HEART.




    Each of these words was individually recorded by Verena Tscherner, and a sound relief was created from them, which lies behind the respective sweaters as a 3D print. 
    The motifs in the series are based on drawings by Katja Berger. These were then cut out of iron-on transfer foil using a cutting plotter and subsequently ironed onto 
    each of the sweaters.  As a whole, they were folded individually and placed in a vacuum bag, and then the air was taken from them, 
    and they were confined within this transparent display  to their outer boundaries. 
    May the theme of self-care thus be carried forward to future generations.
