Bone of an old world,
etched in dust and silence deep—
the earth remembers.

A lone ember flickers in the sand,
red rock sentinels guarding nature's stand—
AlUla's essence revealed.

Ancient stone breathes slow—
fractures hold forgotten rains,
time sleeps in the grain.

In a breathless dusk,
galaxies dissolve to dust—
still, the red cloud sings.

Stone arch frames the stars,
Ancient earth meets distant fire—
Night holds both in peace.

THUNDERSTORM 2025
@mariesutter
Installation with light, sound, and living chicory plants

In Thunderstorm, French-German artist Marie Sutter reanimates the former Franck-Areal silo in Basel-a space once filled with the warm, bitter scent of roasted chicory root. Today, it holds a different atmosphere: suspended time, charged stillness, and the quiet tension of memory.

Above, a single line of light floats-serene, until it is fractured. Sudden, visceral flashes tear through the space, accompanied by a thunderclap that crashes into the body more than the ear.
It is loud. It is violent. For a moment, the storm dominates— uncontainable, electric, unrelenting. And then, almost imperceptibly, it recedes.

In the aftermath, a soundscape begins to unfold: low, breath-like, cyclical. Chicory flowers flicker onto the walls in soft spectral blue-ephemeral, between bloom and storm. A voice emerges.
Time seems to stretch.

Below, rows of Cichorium intybus-chicory plants-reach upward, cultivated over months under deep red light. The choice is both biological and symbolic: red stimulates root growth, anchoring resilience below the surface, while evoking warmth, urgency, and emotional gravity.

Once processed here into a dark, caffeine-free coffee during wartime scarcity, the chicory root returns-not as commodity, but as witness. Not to be consumed, but to be felt.
It stands in the space as a living trace of endurance— a quiet force long overlooked.
Resilience often begins in the dark, beneath pressure. And in a world bracing for upheaval, it is the overlooked that often carries us through.

A 30-minute composition by Sutter threads together storm, breath, voice, and time-an arc that moves from rupture to reckoning, from noise to presence.

Thunderstorm is not just the calm before the storm-it is the storm’s release and the stillness that follows. A meditation on thresholds, on what it means to withstand impact, and on the power of returning-not broken, but changed.

Sometimes, it is the forgotten that returns with the loudest force.
