Kanalebendig
Outdoor installation,
Oberhausen 2001
The Rhine-Herne-Canal with its straightened
and concrete-armed embankments seems to be an
inanimate water. The lacking transparency of
the water surface appears leaden and life-hostile.
The installation is aimed at inspiring unexpected
life to the canal.
A living organism generated in the obscure depth
is climbing out of the water in the form of
gaudily coloured rubber creepers or tentacles
– or it is coming down the hill and now
disappears into the canal, depending on interpretation.
The further development is left to the observer’s
fantasy.

Dead or
Alive?
Indoor installation,
GEA centre, Bochum, 2003
In the centre of the cylindrical entrance hall
a pile is spreading. A pile of what? A pile
of objects in striking colours raising manifold
associations: sea urchins, decorative pumpkins,
blood corpuscles, ufos, rings, Chinese lanterns,
acid drops, blossoms, aliens….A long list
or organic as well as artificial items - alive
or dead?
This static situation could be the snapshot
of a dynamic process: Objects are falling down
from above and drift apart; or they gather in
the centre of the glass cylinder seeking to
escape through the glass roof directly up into
the sky. Motion or not?

Spotlife
Inside/Outside
Installation, Dortmund, 2003.
In a glass-fronted
backyard shed the individual objects seem to
be squeezed out of a crater-like bulge and seek
to disperse. The impression of an energy-loaded
process (of genesis) inside this spot is emphasized
by the light which emerges from the opening
|

|
|
|
One
object is to be found outside the glass pane.
This effect makes the dividing line between
insideand outside melt way, as do the fallen
leaves from outside spread inside the room and
the outside courtyard environment reflected
in the glass pane.

earthseasky
Computer Animation, 2002/3
(picture: stills from the animation)
At night, in the depth of the universe
and of the oceans, light structures of equal
beauty and comparable shape become visible:
On the surface of the earth illumination emanates
from the lights of civilisation,
in the deep sea from bioluminescent life forms,
in outer space from galaxies, fogs and star
agglomerations.
Seen from afar, radiant structures which have
been artificially created by man appear organic,
whereas cosmic shapes seem to be reflected in
oceanic forms of life and vice versa.
The earthseasky-animation is designed to visualize
the close connection between these three areas
through their light phenomena.

earthsky
picture series - slides
and luminous boxes, 2003/4
The picture series is part of the earthseasky-project.
It was developed
from a collage-like combination of aerial night
views of the Ruhr Area. This process created chief
structures which can no longer be clearly assigned
to the surface of the earth. |

They could as well be shots of
far-off spaces of the universe. A closer look
seems to disclose modules of urban structures.
Other parts of the pictures seem to be of a
clearly cosmic nature – although all light
phenomena have an electric, i.e. human origin.

skyearth
slide series and 3D
animation [2005]
The skyearth-motifs are collages of photographs
of cosmic objects like star clusters, nebulae
and galaxies. Those were arranged to form structures
which remind of islands and whole continents
and together build up sort of a map.
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Emphasized by the chosen perspective, the observer
has the impression of looking from an aeroplane
or a spaceshuttle onto an earthlike planet at
night - the cosmic light phenomena now looking
like the luminous structures of civilization.

earthsky – skyearth
slide installation [2005]
In the Installation "earthsky - skyearth"
the two work series "earthsky" und
"skyearth" have been combined to form
a new whole.
The presentation in one room yet in two seperated
parts and the projection directions rectangular
to each other, underlines their close relation
yet also reveiling the differences.

earthskyearth
- an audiovisual installation
double projection of
a 3D animation on semi-transparent cloth layers
[2005/2006]
The "earthsky"-motifs
were projected onto spherical surfaces, thereby
creating a kind of new, planetlike objects.
In a number of sequences the camera follows
different scenarios of the "earthskyearth"-bodies.
