artistic way of working
Humans cannot find their way without things. Through our artifacts, as anthropological cultural stock, we get the possibility for orientation. I explore the impact possibilities of sculptures from the perspective of the material as an information carrier. All materials and media are carriers of information for me. They have the ability to communicate with each other and with a physical counterpart. I stage sculptures, videos, photography and painting among other things with mass media communication techniques such as flat screens, 3 printers, Kosnstruktions-Software, beamer and much more. In video sequences I show e.g. the preparation of building foundations in urban space, the production and processing of steel material or give insights into modern vehicle construction. In these arrangements I pose the question what the technical innovations in material development can mean from an artistic point of view? The new aesthetic forms and communication potentials of modern technology are essential aspects of my work. My work shows the connections of the cultural and environmental history of man. Inspired by my family‘s history of toolmakers, I now work as a visual artist who develops artifacts to penetrate, shift, measure, and investigate both man-made and natural material masses for what is hidden. In artifactual signs I visualize the abstract concepts of forces and energies, their transmissions, their transformations and their preservations. As a finished work, it is thereby constantly reinterpreted and altered against the context of human-environment interactions. Above all, the construction of my removal-objects (objects of ablation and displacement) fascinates and guides the processes of design and preservation associated with their production. The removal-objects are created from the materials I track down during my forays and excursions through the natural landscape and the urban environment. My removal-objects are artifacts that can be associated as carriers of cultural history. In the form of nails, shovels, basins, detectors, transmitters, etc., they are produced by me on site and staged in urban space in conjunction with modern mass media, among other things. After their public production and presentation, my artifacts are durably packaged and buried using my own conservation methods, as a reaction example to overpriced storage space in the metropolis of Berlin. The burial processes and artefaktiscn depots are documented by drawings, photographs and videos. The discovery and the spreading into the virtual space belongs likewise to my work and among other things as storage reaction in similar way motivated umgestezt. The removal – objects are installed by me in the natural animated, urban and digital environment, whereby a knowledge gain is set in motion, which oscillates permanently between the physical and the virtual world. Against the background of social acceleration as a time phenomenon of postmodern industrial societies, the removal-objects evoke an artistic paradigm on man as a modifier of his environment and developer of technical-looking artifacts.
