  • Handwerk [Handcraft]   installation, photos

  • The photos show the professional processing of nine different materials: stone, wood, metal, leather, cotton, glass, electricity, photo film, and plastic. In this way they speak about the interaction of hand, machine, and material. The images are juxtaposed with recordings carried out in workshops of the sounds of machines and tools, mixed with conversations the artist had with the craftsmen during their work. Every encounter brings up the same initial question: How has their work changed over time since they started their profession? Very different conversations develop, sometimes longer and more detailed, sometimes very short and concise.



  • Die Geschichte handelt von dir 2 [History speaks about you 2]   installation, video

  • Versuch einer Gegenüberstellung von historischen und aktuellen Stadtraumfragen [Attempt on a confrontation of historic and current questions about urban space]

    During this festival held in the ruins of a soccer stadium in Zurich, a living room comes into being in the entrance corridor of the former stadium. In this living room, an old television screens historic video interviews made in the 1980s on the streets of the Swiss German cities of Zurich, Basel, and Bern. During the interviews, passers-by comment on squatted houses of these times – sometimes in a positive manner, sometimes hostile. The interviews are part of a documentary produced at that time by the squatters themselves and come from Swiss Social Archives in Zurich.



  • Parcours   installation, research-based, video

  • The three chapters of this video installation play in three cities in the Ruhr region of Germany. There are three protagonists of different generations walking down the pedestrian streets of these cities on foot. A long camera movement shows them only from behind, their eyes fixed on what they have in front of them. They tell personal stories related to the emergence and appropriation of public space, as well as the region’s history of coal mining.



  • Insects   installation, video

  • Insects such as spiders, grasshoppers, flies, and a praying mantis are inside board game boxes. Isolated from the environment, they are projected on the three different board games, which lay abandoned on the ground.



  • Geschlossene Gesellschaft [Closed Society]   installation, video

  • Five people live in five boxes. They are filmed while they do their everyday activities. Long cables connect cameras with a panel of screens on which the spectator can see what is happening inside the boxes. The spectator is filmed as well, and can see himself on a sixth screen.
