At this time I was having a safe life as a West-German ?observer? who, after the wall came down, had only experienced first hand changes of the society and politics through observation and news.<br \/>\nWith this project I wanted to question my own political position and my relations to this incident. As well I was interested in raise and fall of systems of order and ideology and individual approaches to it.<\/p>\n<p>As curator Vlad Morariu states about the project Beneath the remains:<br \/>\n&#8230; &#8220;Its purpose is to recuperate and concatenate upon a Zeitgeist of political mistrust, uneasiness and active disobedience which stems out from the popular culture milieus of the late 80?s and which still survives in the back of our consciences.?<\/p>\n<p>During a research trip to Romania, the country most of the participating artists were rooted in, I was collecting photo material and impressions concerning the topic of the ?remains?[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Exhibition photography<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_gallery type=&#8221;image_grid&#8221; images=&#8221;647,648,649,650,651,652&#8243; img_size=&#8221;300&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; column_number=&#8221;3&#8243; grayscale=&#8221;no&#8221; images_space=&#8221;gallery_with_space&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Interested in words as well as icons who change or loose meaning if linked to different contexts, I played with situations of disorder and de-placement.<\/p>\n<p>Objects, symbols, words, phrases, pass through a continuous process of interpretation.<br \/>\nTheir validation is a reflection depending on time, context, discourse and the perceivers viewpoint. transformation of the little things is a personal quest, about my experiences being within a society facing a processes of political deconstructions and reconstruction.
