Reality is gone. Only shivers of reality survive.
Worst then modern times, e.g. collages of DADA
artists. Shivers are so many times broken that
they cannot be put together again in order to
re-construct reality or an adequate image of
reality.
That means, reality is lost, out of reach forever.
Mental landscapes and theoretical assumption,
ideologies take over uncontrolled forever.
THE CLOCKWORK TOY, single channel video, 2020,
4min 11sec
Clockwork Toy’ footage is based on footage shot on
the occasion of 2020´s Mardi Gras parade in
Southern Germany. The Mardi Gras parade was held
one week before the outbreak of COVID-19 in
Southern Germany and Alsace, France. The footage
has been altered to nearly abstract pattern. These
patterns are oscillating between recognizable part
[a mask, a part of a costume] and really abstract
pattern, maybe similar to a kaleidoscope.

GHOST (FLOWERS)
Flower bouquets are full of passing away flowers.
During our lifetime we receive a huge amount of
passing - away flowers. At least, to each of our
birthdays one flower bouquet is given to us as a
present.
So, our lifes are filled up with dead flowers,
haunting us, coming after us.

THE DANCE 2
‘Dance 2’ footage was shot on an open air Berlin
dancefloor in 2011. The footage has been
remastered into more or less abstract patterns,
which turn again and again over into recognisable
parts of dancers. ‘Dance 2’ is a perfect example
for the human basic need for socialising, which is
interrupted now by the drive to distance from each
other. Like in human relations this two drives are
basic.
