„An und für sich“ deals with the question of forms of human relationships at the moment of global
networking and production.
You are worth it: a phrase often found as an ASMR mantra on the internet is detached from its natural environment. As a sound coming from the car radio it is led ad absurdum.

The starting point of the installation is the multilayered nature of text in a virtual space. It can be both code or instruction as well as information and image. Thus, a performative act of reading, such as scrolling or clicking, is conditional in digital structures. How can this specific perception process be directed to both the medial-based reading as well as to one’s own corporeality, which has been extended by electronic sensors?
As with a picture puzzle, the observation of text and character moves to image and sound. Image and semantics, properties that are text-inherent, can never be percei- ved at the same time. The installation by Vera Sebert and Lara Hampe deals with this apparent dichotomy and links space and signs in the text body.
First shown at Eclat Festival 2019, Stuttgart. In collaboration with Vera Sebert.
