This site specific installation at Art Library and Material Archive Sitterwerk Foundation, St. Gallen focusing on the appearance of copper in the collection. Produced during an artist residency that invited artists to respond to the collection, the display combines material copper objects and publications focusing on the transformation of copper alongside the commodity chain. It is divided into four different sections: 1) Alchemy; 2) Transformation; 4) Sustainability; and 4) Art. The intervention was developed within the so-called "dynamic order" of the library, an approach that facilitates a constantly changing position of the books on the shelves by means of RFID technology.
