Installation, performance, 2013
„Actually, the story was incredible, but it impressed everyone because substantially it was true. True was Emma Zunz’ tone, true was her shame, true was her hate. True also was the outrage she had suffered: only the circumstances were false, the time, and one or two proper names.” Jorge Luis Borges
The art form used in the installation does not create direct emotional conditions, but offers the viewer the opportunity to experience what’s happening in a way which, is possibly, only understandable to each person individually.
Pointing to the dominating vagueness in the possibilities of interpretation, the instruments of manipulation and power which are used to create one way of perceiving or thinking are highlighted. The absurd and reality of time, space and imagination.

♣: I think that a description of an artist is the same as the artist’s work. And I agree that things lose their value in calling them by their name. Mystery permits unlimited possibilities for meaning. In some way, words kill the idea.
♠: Problems are provided by the printed text, which has defined me at some moment, as after a while many aspects in my self-perception will already have changed and what’s been written won’t have any significance. It seems to me that the possibilities of interpretation and perception of one word are so wide and subtle, that it’s hard to say something more accurately, as the person standing opposite will perceive this in completely their own way, unconnected with my way of thinking.
