For his installation The Temple, Ersan Mondtag conceived the performance Becoming Sculptures, which premiered at the opening of Nature and State.

Both works have been commissioned by Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden. Different tracks of storytelling on human existence and alien forms are followed by an accumulation of acts, events, and discussions; all taking place in a humid temple architecture, a proposal for a temporary museum by Mondtag, that will dry out over time. The temple refers to ancient structures, where social, private, political and transcendent fields intersected.
