Two Japanese artists stay in Gerswalde for a week and create artworks that are inspired by the local scenery. This exibition is the materialized memory of their stay: They observe the nature and landscape and sketch lines, shapes, colory and invisible things. Beyond field sketching, the exhibition displays a certain view of the world.
