Égalité

The bubble levels of old water levels have been installed into used wooden bars with different origins. The wooden bars are adjusted rightly, when all bubble levels are balanced.

Cross-Links

Senatsreservenspeicher (Artitude e.V.), Berlin

Cross-Links is an allover Installation, in which I interlinked 42 pre-extant openings (f.ex. that of a silo, broken window panes, drill holes, cracks …) across structures to create relations to place that are architecturally inconceivable.

Nowhere Is Everywhere

Cluster, Berlin

Invitation card for the installation Nowhere Is Everywhere / C – Print/ 40 × 60 cm

Bist Du da?

Künstlerhaus Bremen

This time the gallery space itself was the starting point for an installation that both fills and penetrates the space: the foundation was formed from the floor plan, remnant material, and the function of the building complex – which was always used as a production plant. So the wooden bars represent a working material that gathers in storage, allowing a spectrum of attached associations in its raw form.

Parasitäre Verhältnisse und Dialoge

Underground Station Alexanderplatz U2, Berlin

Berlin’s Alexanderplatz metro station, a space increasingly dominated by economic logic, the act of “leaning” becomes a poetic act of resistance. Over a period of two weeks I spend some time observing people in the subway. I watched how they walked and how they responded to the architecture and structure of the station: What directions were the people travelling in?
