“the plant”

In the work presented, a person acts on a fixed stage with a table, chair, flower pot, and glass of water. Following a strict choreography, the person reflects the concept of dignity in relation to time, stillness, the power of solitude and living in carefully executed movements. It points to the facts that every living being and every object has a dignity and its time . Also has the work a philosophical approach in the context of time and dignity. Partly influenced by Buddhist, Zen and Japanese MA thoughts, but at the same time contains autobiographical elements. It reflects the subject of time in a philosophical context

The exhibition invites works that reflect on stillness, dormancy, and waiting, but also on hope, resilience and unseen growth.Artists are encouraged to interpret this theme broadly – from the delicate poetics of nature’s cycles, through personal or collective experiences of pause and transformation, to metaphors of silence and survival.

Waste Culture #1

My latest sound art piece “K33” (2:55 min., MP3) was broadcast on November 22nd as part of the program “Waste Culture #1” by Datscha Radio from Kobe, Japan.

Datscha Radio is a nomadic and ecologic radio art project maintained by Gabi Schaffner, and in cooperation with local people and communities. The project is presently based in Kobe,

Waste Culture #1: The production of waste is a sure indicator of our civilization, and it tells many stories. The ambiguity of the word “waste” alone already invites thinking about production, consumption, surplus and left-overs, about what is and what needs to be discarded but also about what eventually needs to be shared, recycled and redistributed. Cultivating waste: How can we cope with abundance in the face of diminishing resources?

“K33” The work is based on personal experiences traversing the paths and rooms filled with trash and debris in a former conservatory building in its final days before demolition. The work seeks a dialogue not only with the physical waste, but also with the spiritual debris of abandoned ideas, thoughts, and feelings.
