tell me your story, I`ll tell you mine
installation

"tell me your story I’ll tell you mine" invites participants to interact through the microphones. in doing so, a performative space emerges in which voice, listening, and shared presence become central elements.

temporary

inside out plays with the tension between representation and physical reality. the sonography image—a blurry, clinical abstraction—contrasts with the material presence of the stone, which now exists as a tangible object outside of its original context.

a faulty net of cables and a flickering light bulb illustrate unstable systems and the dependency on them.

tolerance combines acoustic vibration with visual presence, exploring the interplay between frequency, perception, and meaning.
an 18-minute sound frequency of 8.75 hertz is pressed onto a 12-inch record – a vibration of the schumann resonance, which is associated with the earth's natural frequency. it creates an auditory environment that eludes direct narrative, instead relying on physical and mental resonance.

in parallel, the word tolerance appears as a central mantra – not audible, but manifested solely through its visual presence on the record. Its design makes it an integral part of the medium and opens a space for reflection on language, connotation, and social attitude.

tolerance

the work plays with the concept of 'thinking inside the box,' which metaphorically stands for limited, conventional thinking. by choosing a cardboard box as the central element of the installation, the physical boundary is emphasized, serving as an apt analogy for mental constraints.

box thinking

inactive microphones - facing the rolls of grass - imply an attempt to understand.
the installation thematises the alienation from nature and nature-related life forms.

throw
performance/soundinstallation_installation
collaboration with karl salzmann

a performative stoning, that sees itself as a subversive call against the supremacist and dominant social paradigm of blame and condemnation. psychic pain becomes feasible in a physical lasting transformation.

projection: naked body in embryo position, real size
sound: embryonic heart rate

karl salzmann transforms in his sound installation the throwing of stones in a scurrilous echotony. the act of throwing is supported by electric-acoustic techniques, repetitive playing and postulating its intention.

open heart destroyed is an objective-orientated media installation. the work focuses on the oppressive momentum-caption of heart. the destruction exposes itself concentrically with technotic vibes on the flat screen.

video: operation cut
projection / geotope engelsberg_winzendorf

a torso which shows the operation scar shortly after an upper arm surgery is projected onto the surface of a former quarry. the smooth surface of the rock wall originated from the demolition process by means of rope saws. this incisions in the natural geology of the landscape reflect as an analogy to the stiched wounds of the projected human arm.

the position of man, his dealings with nature and the resulting consequences for both are content of the work.

playground
installation
collaboration with gyula varnai (sound)

the central motif of the installation "playground" is a solidified swing, whose tattered rope and destroyed ground offer a metaphorical representation of the destructive interaction with the current social and environmental situation.

playground

studio view; exhibited@ 12-14 contemporary / vienna

the installation fragments an intention bundled in its origin, detaches it from its structure to make the fragmentation observable and perceivable.
based on the lyrics of jimenéz they reflect past in a timeless context, becoming relative and serve only to display an example for such processes.
