(English follows) Les œuvres "Drei Rubel (Trois roubles)" et "Überwintern (Hiverner)" sont liées selon la même technique que les balais fabriqués par les grands-parents de l'artiste au Kazakhstan. Ces petits balais à main, appelés veniki, constituaient alors une source de revenus essentielle : chaque année, ils en confectionnaient jusqu'à un millier, vendus trois roubles l'unité au marché voisin. Le père de l'artiste a appris cette technique de fabrication dans son enfance. Devenue inutile après l'installation de la famille en Allemagne, cette connaissance artisanale est progressivement tombée dans l'oubli. Ce n'est qu'au terme de nombreux échanges avec sa famille qu'Ernstina Eitner a pu la reconstituer et l'intégrer à sa pratique artistique. Ces balais appartiennent à un ensemble d'objets du quotidien dont elle s'est ainsi réapproprié les techniques de fabrication.
______

"Drei Rubel (Three Rubles)" and "Überwintern (Overwintering)" are bound in the same way as the brooms that Eitner’s grandparents made in Kazakhstan. The smaller hand brooms, called veniki, were an important source of income there: each year they bound up to a thousand of them to sell at the nearby market for three rubles each. The artist's father was taught broom-binding as a boy. As it was of no further use to him in Germany, this craft knowledge fell into oblivion, and only through extensive conversations was Eitner able to reconstruct it and make it productive for her artistic work. The brooms belong to a group of everyday objects whose making she has reappropriated in this way.
