You found the next clue! 🙂
After scrolling endlessly through social media, I found a funny short video to share with you: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DX4DkAthfPd/. Enjoy !

And here’s another one, more dreamy and kind of poetic. I love it, you might find it too cheesy: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX9PZvPhIOk/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Ok ok. Enough Instagram for today.

The next letter can be found here:

Beneath where you sleep, out of sight I stay,
Sliding in shadows, tucked away.
I cradle soft things, where dreams are spread,
A sheet, a pillow, what warms your bed.
But hidden within, there’s more to explore!
A message awaits if you open my door.

Context
Rötel is a reddish-brown colour that was used for cave painting thousands of years ago. It can still be found today in certain areas under the earth.

Description
For this project I took a very playful, improvisational approach. Using the facts about Rötel, I was able to create an abstracted projection that I could interact with. I tried to feel the colour, I danced with it and showed it to the audience. Meanwhile, Bernd Matthias accompanied me with the piano, transforming my emotions into sounds.
