Artist's book → DISTANZ
The multimedia installation A Wing Beat! A Wing Beat! follows the perspective of a pigeon reproduced by a drone-mounted camera. In referencing aesthetics of earlier homing pigeon photography, whose analog technology drone- mounted cameras replace, the work incorporates various media dispositions: parts of the video are recordings from a camera secured to the body of the pigeon and transported by it. As footage of the area surrounding Hohenlockstedt - a region that served military purposes during the imperial and National Socialist regimes - plays in the video, the spatial installation focuses on the body of the pigeon itself, and attempts to control and capture it.
Wooden relief, cherry wood, MDF, plexiglas box, 39×53×15 cm
The wooden relief Stuffed Dress As Landscape is encased in a Plexiglas box. It depicts a kind of gown or covering that retains the form of an absent body. Carved elements of a landscape resembling a map are visible in what appears to be the lining. Formally, the wooden relief refers to reliefs of the landscape around Hohenlockstedt, which could be purchased as souvenirs by the soldiers trained at the Lockstedter Lager during the National Socialist regime.
Fictive primordial birds on stereoscopic UV print, plexiglas panels, steel frames, 16×80×2 cm
Les Amis shows two necks of dinosaur-like entities with jaws seemingly open to scream; they suggest fictive Urvogel, primordial birds that are evolutionarily connected to the pigeon. Set between two transparent Plexiglas panels and held together by two metal clamps, the image appears like a hologram, a stereoscopic method used in creating land surveys for military purposes that makes two-dimensional images appear three-dimensional.
