Transitzone / 2017

temporary road marking.  50m × 60m

Gedenkstätte Deutsche Teilung Marienborn

On the floor are markings, which give a plan. This is attached with a 1:1 scale with

temporary street marking. The plan shows, today, a reference to the then German border: the transit zone in Frankfurt am Main Airport, Cargo-City Süd, Building 587a. The term Transitzone also names a place of statelessness. In the case of the depicted building, it is an outpost of the initial Hessian accommodation facility in which the Federal Office of Migration decides within two days the asylum applications that are submitted. The marking sets a rewriteable boundary, but creates a space. A place generated in its real, present space for 100 people.

 

Postcards / Sculptures / 2017

Materials and colors produce sculptural landscapes which are not recognizable as postcard motif at first sight.

By using plain postcards, which only contain a title and the typical postcard layout, the observer is invited to see the sculpture as a picture and to think the three dimensional works as motifs in the empty spaces on the postcard.

While this transforming process is taking place, the incomplete part is filled with expectations and completed with familiar holiday motifs.
