Overgrowth, 2004

Large-format slide, projector, AV stand

A slide projection of a bonsai tree is scaled to the size of a large wall. When a bonsai is arranged in a garden with similarly scaled plants it appears as a full-size tree from a distance. However, the scale of Overgrowth has nothing to do with perspective or relative size. 

Ink On Paper (Set of 40), 2010

Felting pen on blotting paper

The tips of felttip pens are suspended on a sheet of blotting paper. By a process of osmosis, the felttip pens are slowly emptied, the pigments spreading on the paper.

Auto Focus, 2002

Light projection with Leica Pradovit P-150 projector, AV stand, plinth

A slide carousel is turned on without but doesn’t contain any slides. In an attempt to grab an image that is not there, and thus render it in perfect focus, the lens shifts in and out, forming a moving halo of white light on the wall.

100%, 2007 (detail)

Installation of ten "10%" vinyl stickers

The work mockingly refers to the continuously suspended promise of consumer culture and to the habitual search for discounted products identified by similar stickers announcing reduced prices.
