For more than 10 years, I have been working with artistic forms of expression such as video, object art or interventions with a socio-political ackground, with the fragility and fragility of our world, but also of our perception. The focus of the works is the collage technique of the endless loop of the video loop, which is able to express a whole spectrum of feelings. Through the supposed recurrence of the same, we can recognise the beauty of a moment over and over again. They function as digital frescoes, as reduced and strikingly designed video loops in the form of digital perpetuum mobiles or in the form of a juxtaposition of two loops with ongoing dialogue. With my works, I always seek exchange and confrontation with the viewers and demand time, patience and attention.

Title: RHIZOM I & II

Description:

The work „Rhizome I & II“ is neither utopia nor dystopia. The format-filling digital collages metaphorically document the density in our everyday existence with their countless layers. Through the deliberate depiction and deconstruction of familiar subjects, reference points are created that remind us, among other things, of the three past industrial revolutions and the fourth currently taking place.

The collages thus indirectly confront us with the questions of the transformation of economic and social conditions, the excessive demands of a strongly accelerated development of technology, productivity and science and the fact of a strongly growing world population with increasing social grievances.

Where is the fourth industrial revolution leading us? Can this „RHIZOM“, when considered, trigger the need for liberation from defined power structures, in which different perspectives and approaches are broken at any point and grow along a new one?
