. The textiles from the project “Being a part of the entanglement” are dedicated to the topic of dialogue and are inspired by the works of the artist Franz Erhard Walter, who created textile structures, which are only completed by participation and active intervention of others. Johanna Stella Rogalla designed multi-layered fabrics in which she plays with ambivalence: The works are clearly fabric - albeit very fine, delicate - but the composition appears unclear and irritating due to the superimposition of several layers so that the wish arises to clarify this through close vision and touch. It must now be considered which layers should be revealed and which should remain hidden. According to Johanna Stella Rogalla, “a process of constant balancing out should arise; between one's own submission and the appropriation of the material. Textiles play a key role here as a factor of complexity. The interdisciplinarity helps to increase the respective potential by considering the complexity of the respective design and thought processes.” The fabrics are multi-layered with at least two to a maximum of six layers, which intersect within the fabric in both the warp and weft directions. In this way, textiles were created that can be read in different directions. The fabrics can be opened in different places. The superimposition of the individual delicate and monochrome layers creates optical moiré effects, which cause further irritation and an abundance of different color nuances.
