from Havens
As part of the group exhibition “Havens”, I developed two works in response to the question of what an architecture of personal space could be. The two works are transplants of the Introspective Monument (A:I:M), which was built into the left part of the Halle on the campus of the Bauhaus-University Weimar by Till Röttjer. It is an interior within the interior and can only be experienced halfway from the outside. Thus, the viewer is encouraged to venture inside the monument. My works invert the A:I:M. On the one hand, they understand its inner dimensions as an outside, and on the other hand, as collapsing into a plane. However, I do not understand them as reproductions or models. Neither am I interested in looking for monumentality in space nor size, but rather in itself as heaviness. I don't understand introspection as an abstract retrieval into oneself but as a way of dealing with a counterpart. In this way, it becomes a projection from a distance. Closeness thus only arises through physicality and materiality, through what something weighs, through what is brought along, and memory.

Isn’t it the case that we are all carrier pigeons in some way?

You say we should wake up and see the world as it really is. But the world I live in is a parallel universe to yours.
