The Conscience

The conscience is the inner lawyer of the individual. The lawyer defends decisions that have been made. It tells what is right or searches for minimisation when one has done something wrong. Some decisions one makes have harsh consequences and can put one‘s existence in danger.

The Thread

If I held a thread in my hands as if it was lifetime, then this thread is divided into three sections: the past, the present and the future. They are lined up one after the other. No intermediate sections: three simple, clear facts.

Fake Homes

Fake Homes are developmental stages of personality. In our further development we are like caterpillars spinning a cocoon. The cocoons are then like a home, but the home is only useful for a certain time. Then you have to leave the transitional house.

Watertower

A building comes to life, becomes a creature, awakens from its stony sleep and it seems as if it is beginning to communicate with the world.

Une forme idéale

The symbol of the circle has neither a beginning nor an end. There is no hierarchy in the structure of the shape. All points are equidistant from the starting point. Two things determine the perfect shape: The center and the radius. The circle is considered THE PERFECT FORM.

Marseille, a portal to inhale

A portal is a passage through which one crosses, physically or mentally. Outside or inside. The video work shows footage taken mainly on the Ile de Frioul, an island off the coast of Marseille. In the distance a „boom boom“, „boom boom“ can be heard – the heartbeat of France’s oldest city.

The video work is entitled „Marseille, a portal to inhale“ for two reasons: First, because Marseille was colloquially called „the gateway to Africa“. For this reason, the African instrument Mbira (also known as Kalimba) can also be heard as a sound instrument in the video. The second reason for the title of the work is the proximity of the city to the sea. The sea is essential for our climate system and is largely responsible for global oxygen production. Every second breath we take is made by the sea.

The Moment, A Discovery of Timelessness and the Absence of Wind

The future cannot be remembered. The past cannot be changed.  In between lies the moment, a thin line where the past and the future face each other. It is the most important of all tenses. The thin line of the now.
