temporary

inside out plays with the tension between representation and physical reality. the sonography image—a blurry, clinical abstraction—contrasts with the material presence of the stone, which now exists as a tangible object outside of its original context.

150 meters of electric cable, electronically programmed light bulb

a faulty net of cables and a flickering light bulb illustrate unstable systems and the dependency on them.

netzfehler

the work plays with the concept of 'thinking inside the box,' which metaphorically stands for limited, conventional thinking. by choosing a cardboard box as the central element of the installation, the physical boundary is emphasized, serving as an apt analogy for mental constraints.

box thinking

inactive microphones - facing the rolls of grass - imply an attempt to understand.
the installation thematises the alienation from nature and nature-related life forms.

throw
performance/soundinstallation_installation
collaboration with karl salzmann

a performative stoning, that sees itself as a subversive call against the supremacist and dominant social paradigm of blame and condemnation. psychic pain becomes feasible in a physical lasting transformation.

projection: naked body in embryo position, real size
sound: embryonic heart rate

karl salzmann transforms in his sound installation the throwing of stones in a scurrilous echotony. the act of throwing is supported by electric-acoustic techniques, repetitive playing and postulating its intention.

throw

open heart destroyed is an objective-orientated media installation. the work focuses on the oppressive momentum-caption of heart. the destruction exposes itself concentrically with technotic vibes on the flat screen.

video: operation cut
projection / geotope engelsberg_winzendorf

a torso which shows the operation scar shortly after an upper arm surgery is projected onto the surface of a former quarry. the smooth surface of the rock wall originated from the demolition process by means of rope saws. this incisions in the natural geology of the landscape reflect as an analogy to the stiched wounds of the projected human arm.

the position of man, his dealings with nature and the resulting consequences for both are content of the work.

playground
installation
collaboration with gyula varnai (sound)

the central motif of the installation "playground" is a solidified swing, whose tattered rope and destroyed ground offer a metaphorical representation of the destructive interaction with the current social and environmental situation.

playground

studio view; exhibited@12-14 contemporary / vienna

the installation fragments an intention bundled in its origin, detaches it from its structure to make the fragmentation observable and perceivable.
based on the lyrics of jimenéz they reflect past in a timeless context, becoming relative and serve only to display an example for such processes.
