lost

Video, Sound 2017
Singleframeanimation 4´44´´

This work reflects displacement as a cultural and existential experience. It is a metaphysical allegory of solitude and displacement, a travel through time and space, places and objects, that are keeping their stories inside of them, although they have been dislocated, destroyed or preserved. These leftovers are keeping memories of where people lived, of what they did, of who they have been.

soundobject #9

Soundoject 2014
Curtain on frame 2,3 x 1,2m

Based on old furniture from the 50ies- 60ies the object uses the curtain as a cover, the fine art frame as speaker. The sound is moving the fabric into trembling motion. The patterns of last century interior design become abstract blurryness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ghosts

photoserie 4 parts, 2014
4C Print on Bütten, 20x30 cm

A serie of portraits of chinese people living in houses, which are being removed for new real estate projects. The portraits were meant to be printed in large scale on old roofs and new constructionsites. Being planned as a public art project in Beijing, the project partners were afraid of personal consequences in their country.

These are photoshop visualizations for the public art project. The images also show the visual aspect of smog in the city.

vibrate space

Soundinstallation 2012
6-channel soundinstallation in public space
electric indigo, Bernhard Gal, Nik Hummer, Elisabeth Schimana, Florian Schmeiser, Peter Szely

 

Vibrate space reflects the urban space as an acoustic space of motion. The installation picks up the motion of the surrounding as a publix area which is mainly used for motion – jogging, walking ... The acoustic movement of the air is the translation of the movement of the city.

6 musicians from different fields of electronic music develop one composition for the public space. The 6-channel-soundinstallation sounds at the area of the centralgarden of over 400 squaremeters.

apocalypso

Interactive soundinstallation 2001
emergency button

apocalypso is a work about war, using invisibility and interactivity within the gallery space.
An emergency-button is embedded in the wall and triggers the soundinstallation. Pushing the button you hear a soundcollage of sacred music and communication of NATO-pilots during the war in Kosovo.
Interactivity is reduced to the minimum: a button rules reality.
