Panel – Krabat’s Bottom imitates a fragment of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. However, this modification is an animistic variant. Instead of large stone blocks, it imitates a natural phenomenon, i.e. a dry cracked riverbed (fine clay or kaolin). The cracks are used here in a similar way to the joints between blocks. Instead of the prayers of the Hebrews, the personal belongings of visitors to the exhibition are pressed into them. The resulting assemblage therefore changes over the course of the exhibitions.

Krabat is perceived here as being representative of the viewer. He is a young amateur sorcerer who is still learning to perform magic
