Regional writer Charlotte Krafft and artist Jan Philip Scheibe staged the longest day of the year in the vegetable patch.
Twice art and culture on the longest day of the year. The art vegetable garden at Senden Castle, newly planted as part of the project "PRESERVED // Altland - Neuland", became the stage for two special performances on 21 June 2020:
Charlotte Krafft took us on a literary journey into the future of Münsterland. "Why do almost all visions of the future always refer to urban agglomerations," she wondered, "and why does the development of places and landscapes with monumental value hardly ever play a role in them?" Krafft processed her impressions of the region's nature and culture into modern science fiction literature. Schloss Senden offered her particular inspiration for her texts, which deal with rural areas and their change over time from a future perspective.
On the summer solstice, Jan Philip Scheibe brought light, science and poetry together from 11 am: He set up a mobile solar station in the middle of the vegetable garden, complete with laptop and LED ticker, and acted as a human interface himself. Throughout the day and into the evening - as long as the sun's energy was flowing - he researched scientific findings about the sun and its influence on the earth live on site and shared them with the audience via neon signs.
