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.

Stuffed Dress as Landscape, 2022. Detail
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.
