ZEITWERK / Wheel of Time (2017)
video installation 8 min. loop exhibition HOME VARIATIONS 2017, Luther Church, Cologne
The video installation ZEITWERK (2017) consists of a video projection (DV: 8 minutes loop including audio collage assembled from annual fair music in waltz rhythm), a single video on flat screen, a small beside lamp and a Ferris wheel toy.
The overall image of the layered installation is composed out of a giant shadow projection from a little toy Ferris wheel in which a colorful video of a girl is projected, who in occasion of the 120th anniversary of the Biennale performs 120 cartwheels in front of the artworks. For the visitors of the Biennale in 2015 it seemed a scheduled performance.
In the installation various directions determine a time rhythm: The Ferris wheel is turning right, the girl’s cartwheels turn left and the sound is played backwards.

Hörspiel grün (1994/2000)
Interactive audioinstallation
The spectator on stage is listening to an narrative composed of analog, quadraphonic soundscapes.
In general my works address my interest in the position of the spectator, in relation to myself and to my artwork. An early example of this exploration is my audio installation titled Hörspiel grün (green radio-play, 1994). I put the spectator on a one-man stage, confined in a narrow space where he listens to a track consisting of a short, fragmented story, noises and music about contradictory situations like moving and standing still, or being a foreigner and a native. The spectator's processing of, and reactions to, these contradictions is the central part of the work.
