02.–03.09.2024

Making art is intoxicating. Sometimes. It's sometimes bitter. Sometimes funny. Also abysmal. A work process associated with an extremely high level of identification. Together with others working in the art context, I question the everyday working lives of artists. Via photography, video, statements, conversations.

The head is a planet in space

The studio space as an artistic field of action

Kunstraum ÖR25/Göppingen

2021–2023

A project dokumentation in two volumes

The focus of this studio project is on topics that have not yet found a conclusion in my artistic work. It's about what was planned and what was left behind, about the current and the past, about what was almost successful and what failed. Space and time as universal themes become research motifs in the artistic process that are examined in different approaches and considerations.

In The Head is a Planet in Space (168 pages) I tell the project in 11 episodes. Here I explicitly select topics, focus on individual phases of the project and comment on them. The studio space as an artistic field of action (88 pages) is the title of a supplementary documentation. Here I present the two-year installation process as a diary in the form of screenshots of a selection of the photos and videos created during the process. This way you can follow the course of the project as a purely pictorial and uncommented event. At the same time, the creation of art itself becomes a topic.

Installation components for site-specific exhibition projects are currently being created from the extensive photo and video material.

‘In sunshine or by starlight,
In a tunnel it is always dark.’
These lines by Erich Kästner takes the sense of purpose that bores through a mountain and transposes it to a particular mentality. Independence granted by reduced journey times becomes stubbornness, narrowness: tunnel vision. (Oberwelt e.V.)
