100 degrees is the officially recommended temperature in Germany for preserving food that is cooked in airtight jars. Due to Russia’s war of aggression and increasing poverty, canning is being used more and more in Ukraine. This work is about ‘preserving’ personalities and identities instead of food. The participants were asked to provide an object that symbolises their personality and identity. They were asked questions that reflect the theme of identity and a portrait was made. The answers and stories about the individual objects can be accessed via a QR code. The glasses are also a kind of time capsule, as they show an individual section of the respective personality at the present time and can be retrieved sooner or later when the question of identity takes on a different meaning.
