The figurine emerges within a randomly programmed time limit and spits brown liquid (optionally into a collecting container). At one side of the cuckoo clock is a peep box, containing a gloomy setting. The cuckoo clock is placed on a specially designed wallpaper with patterns of ornamentally arranged fabulous creatures.

Sklave (Slave) /  2009

In the beginning a further part of her job was to send a work plan to her slave at the beginning of each week. His spare time was filled by her with various part-time jobs and she would receive a share of his earnings. Due to health issues she now assigns him with physically less demanding tasks, such as begging for money on the local high street.

The artistic examination of this project takes place in a kind of documentation that tries to present the course of the experiment thus far.

18 Lambda-Prints, 18 x 24 cm

Sundry persons from within my closer environment were given the task to take a picture of me according to their very own ideas and fantasies. The only prompt: I had to be naked. After the session, one photograph was meant to be selected and provided with a title as well as a short text. Thus, 18 unique stories came into being.
