This is one of a series of images made in Corona lock down days. Within the work, various temporal and stylistic approaches are put into context with one another. The ancient statue, the expressive character of the color, as well as the current presence of the image in the here and now. The emergence of the black and white color in the picture through a random process opens up new aesthetic forms and puts familiar things into new symbolic contexts. In my work I put familiar things in an unfamiliar context - in an "experimental state" and try to develop new associations. By that I offer the viewer space for mind games. The focus is on everyday objects or other artworks itself that have a high symbolic content too. Since I always lay out my work in a way that it is not obtrusive, it brings reduction and refreshing clarity with it. What at first glance seems tidy, accessible and almost respectful turns out all too quickly to be a challenge to an intellectual dance. The work demands a mental breakdance or at least a waltz on the floor of the reception. You could find more information at: Insta: or
