Primordial Soup

objects in concrete, pumps, colored water, plants

The installation explores resonance as a shared condition between inert matter and living systems, foregrounding their capacity to initiate, transmit, and respond to change. Composed of concrete elements, circulating colored water, pumps, and plants, it establishes a dynamic network in which mechanical impulses set processes in motion while organic responses continuously alter their course. Subtle material exchanges—flow, absorption, diffusion—unfold alongside larger systemic interactions, revealing how minimal interventions can propagate through complex environments. Oscillating between control and autonomy, stability and transformation, the work blurs distinctions between object and organism, presenting the installation not as a fixed form but as an evolving, responsive condition.

    Space Tme refers to several related phenomena where a clock does not run at the exact right speed compared to another clock. That is, aftersome time the clock “drifts apart” or gradually desynchronizes from the other clock. Everyday clocks such as wristwatches have finite precision. Eventually they require correction to remain accurate. The rate of…

    The work deals with the appropriation of artifacts and their social role. A sculpture of Aphrodite from a tourist shop was used as a model for a concrete casting. Alongside, self-developed electronics were incorporated to make the later concrete sculpture emit sound. For this purpose, it is sufficient to connect two wires to a fruit…

  • Horde

    Horde is an installation, a sculptural object and a technical network. Dozens of vehicles are moving autonomously and erratically on a white, shiny platform. Each vehicle maunders, i.e. vocalises fragments of various specialised texts on information, disinformation and information retrieval. The aim of Horde is to illustrate the chaos of the modern media-generated overload of…
