Field of view
In front of the window of a room at the Munich Art Academy, a shape made of semi-transparent fabric is placed between the interior and exterior. If you look outside from the inside, you first look into this space, then through the semi-transparent fabric into the open. The boundary between inside and outside is no longer defined by the surface of the window pane, but by a room.
Space body
A slightly reduced copy of the room is sewn from semi-transparent cotton tulle. The completely closed cube made of fabric, an imprint of the room, is stretched into the room without touching the walls, floor or ceiling.
stairway
The fabric surface is also brought into tension by the tensioned, continuous rope. Both elements, surface and rope, are mutually dependent and only result in the shape of a staircase when they work together.
Light filter
The projection of the two windows of the exhibition space into the room is traced using a fabric shape.
ellipse
The inner body made of fabric is a reduction of the space around it on a scale of 2: 1. It thus takes up one eighth of the volume of the room. Attached to the edges of the room with nylon ropes, it floats in the room, held by the tension of the ropes. The shape of the ellipse results from the length of the ropes.
Intersection
A room made of paper is inserted at the intersection of two corridors in the gallery space. This space in space has the shape of a three-dimensional cross, the motif of the crossing. A crossing is a “virtual” space that only emerges in our imagination through the penetration of two volumes of space. The wooden structure, which can be dismantled, was previously covered with paper and put together on the spot.
sweet surrender
Two white flags with an oval cut into them are hoisted on a residential building in Long Island City, New York. A cut means destruction but at the same time opens up a view of something new. The imaginary connection between the two openings creates a permanently changing, sculptural form. The work was created in New York after September 11, 2001 and also addresses the importance of the flag in times of war.
