Flores of the Loom
[PREVIEW]
Forschungsprojekt - Lendenwebstühle von Flores & umgebenden Inseln im Vergleich. Flores‘ Webstühle auf dem Laufsteg als Skulptur - Ein Blick aus künstlerischer Sicht!
Angesichts dessen stellt natürlich sofort die dringliche Frage: „Wo bleibt der Sockel, Bürger von Flores?“
Flores aus Ost-Indonesien stellt euch seine beseelten Lendenwebstühle vor….ein laufendes Projekt, dass wohl Ende 2025 langsam Form annehmen wird……
Als ersten Schritt werden einen historischen Rückblick wagen und den Bestand musealer Kollektionen zum Thema Flores vor Augen führen.
Research project - loin looms of Flores & surrounding islands in comparison. Flores' looms on the catwalk as a sculpture - A look from an artistic perspective!
In view of this, of course, immediately asks the urgent question: "Where is the pedestal, citizens of Flores?“
As a first step, we’ll take a historical review and show the status of museal collections on the subject of Flores in its time.
The spirit of Flores in East Indonesia introduces you to its soulful looms....an ongoing project that will probably take shape by the end of 2025......

According to a photo of Tillema, made in 1924/25 close Maumere, this sketch should show another type of Sikka loom. Its warp beam is resting on stones!

A Larantuka loom in top- and side-view….without Pippi Langstrumpf! Technically almost equal to other stake loom-types like Sikka & Ende on Eastern Flores.

An Atoni loom on Timor Island in top- and side-view comes pretty similar like the stake loom-types on Flores Island. All of those are externally-braced, but body-tensioned types of ground looms! According to Yoshimoto these belong to category B of loom-types, using a circular warp.

A Ndona loom from Ende regency on Flores in top- and side-view. With its circular warp and its warp beam hold by stakes is technically similar to the Sikka loom and other ground loom-types on Flores and neighborhood! But details count!
