the SAUNA.
finally, you can relax.
don’t worry about the outside world.
breathe in.
self care is important.
breathe out.
mental health is important.
just relax and feel your lungs expand.
feel your privilege.
time to forget and let go of responsibility.
find your happy place.
let go of the idea of community.
let go of the importance of caring for each other.
only you matter right now.
take a deep breath.
everything is fine here.
just close your eyes and relax.

The wellness industry thrives on the concept of self care and how we need to take care of ourselves first and foremost. Experts tell us that our bodies have not evolved to take on all the information we are receiving in the world and we need to take the time for ourselves, to regulate our bodies. For the most part this is true. But one important factor that the wellness industry has forgotten to mention is that caring about EACH OTHER is essential for our survival. We cannot heal our world when the people in it are only focussed on themselves. And collective liberation will heal all of us. SO next time you are in the sauna taking the time for yourself don’t forget the others less fortunate than you, that need your voice and not your silence.

Deliberate ignorance is the quality or state of deliberate unawareness. It is when people do not know because they do not want to know. For if they did know, they would have to take responsibility for knowing; and they would be required to renegotiate their identity and relinquish the status, privilege and authority derived from the false order of knowing. At the very least, they would be forced to leave their comfort zone.

Welcome to the SAUNA, a site specific inatallation made especially for Das KloHäuschen.
