From a white ribbon to a line of white, red, green, “ 9050”A Land Art Installation

About „9050” A Line of white, red, green
The installation made of jute ribbons and trees has several meanings. Making invisible boundaries and space visible – showing connections, how things are connected to one another. The relationships and connections between humans and nature. The idea arises that everything is connected to one another and that connections can be made visible. What influence does the environment have on the object and how does the object affect the environment? The highlighting of individual objects, in this case a single tree, from the crowd through individual marking. But in the end, all of these marked trees form a group and form a unit despite the individuality in the patterns.
At first glance it doesn't seem noticeable. The trees with the jute ribbons form a baseline that runs through the installation. In one part the line follows a diagonal zigzag course and in the second part of the installation it follows a straight line. Because I had never had the experience that life and thoughts running in a straight line. A side effect is caused by the sunlight shining through the leaves. It creates an ever changing play of shadows and light on the ribbons, which makes them even more visible and distinctive. As I already mentioned, this is the longest (largest) installation that I have created so far.
A White Ribbon
A simple, narrow white ribbon as the starting point for a new land art installation that is spread over 120 meters and is therefore one of the largest and longest installations I have created to date.
The installation is created in the context of the Rumpenheim Art Days (Rumpenheimer Kunsttage) in the castle park of Rumpenheim, a suburb of Offenbach, Germany.

Grosso Modo ,31 Alfasi St., Tel Aviv - Jaffa, Israel
Grosso Modo Gallery and Artists Collective is pleased to present the first International Imago Video Fest, which deals with the written/spoken word and its connection to the world of visuals. The exhibition shows video art , small graphic work and artists books
My most recent video work “You Get...teG uoY” is screened at the festival.
The title of the work refers to the phrase “You Get So Alone At Times That It Just Makes Sense” The sentence belongs to a book of the same title by the American poet Charles Bukowski (1920-1994). The work focus on an individual in a phase and state of being alone.
In addition, the sentence has a strong autobiographical connection to my person. Being alone isn't always painful, but it can be complex and challenging. We may be in a period of longing for companionship and change, but we also need to ask ourselves whether the process of longing and belonging to a social setting has begun or whether we end up intentionally avoiding all belonging and attachment to anyone
The new video contains written and a spoken text which is an exception within my video works.
