Touche-à-Tout

Touche-à-Tout' is a portable installation that Kraal will take with her on her travels. Traces of the journey will be visible in this work. Every place that she visits will add to her work in progress. In previous projects Kraal focused mainly on "looking" at the world. Touche-à-Tout stimulates all the senses using different media: you can taste flavours, smell scents, you can touch objects, hear and make sounds. The audience automatically becomes part of the installation. This book is part travel log of things encountered and part sensory quest to revive our ability to marvel at the things that are right in front of us. It offers a window through which we can perceive endless different realities, up close and from a distance, suggesting a wondrous alternative to the earthly mundane.
