Heidi Bucher performed her 'Häutungsaktionen' at her parents' house in Wülflingen, where she covered the 'Herrenzimmer' with latex and then removed it, creating a 'skin' of the room that preserved its history and memories. This process was a ritual of cleansing and taking possession of the space. She repeated this process in other abandoned buildings, creating a series of 'skins' that held the memories of the past.
