Piled (2017)
Sculpture

Like a modular construction kit system, these stele-like sculptures consist of nothing but individual parts. The forms of these parts have as their source various literature on the subject of ornaments. In the course of my years of research, I have found a number of basic forms that I use and expand again and again.

Like a word or a sentence, these forms can be rearranged or assembled and thus change their syntax. These archetypical forms often look different, because they are made from a wild mix of materials (plaster, ceramics, concrete, wood, textile, glass ...), usually have different size relations and also differ in colour. It is my intention to rearrange them like a mix tape and thus to take them out of their context.

Tassel Archive - On the fetish of representation of posaments  (2014 - ongoing)
Mixed Media


A tassel is a larger number of threads of equal length gathered at the upper end, attached to a string and hanging down from it.

The abundant presence of the tassel in cultural history fascinate me so much that I have now been working with this element for years. Through research, visits to various archives, excursions and numerous conversations the tassel became more and more important, the discussions richer in perspectives and hypotheses up to the development of an obsession for the tassel.

The contents of the archive include an image archive (consisting of self-taken images, images sent by third parties, and images found in the course of research), an exhibit archive (consisting of self-made, found, and donated objects), several Youtube tutorials knowingly made for this purpose, an outdoor sculpture, and various research documents.

In the course of exhibitions, the viewer can browse through the collection in a participatory moment and dive into the individual story of each exhibit.
