Kunstraum Düsseldorf-Anagrams
polymer paint

Five TongueTwisters
chalk
typeface: Sheldon

 

The rhythmicity of word plays is based on alliterations and symmetric relations.

noch nicht mehr (not yet anymore)
perforated wall
typeface: Aeterna

 

Countless drill holes create a cloud of past presence and they let three words: „noch nicht mehr“ appear. It took many days to drill thousands of „jiffys“. Time can be experienced as the accumulation of traces of now-moments.

Fehlende Fehler (Missing Mistakes)
partly removed wall paint
typeface: Blanco Neg

 

work from the series Trivia

Two Janus-Anagrams
volatile binder
typeface: Intellecta Romana Humanistica

 

Two latin phrases and their anagrams visualize different aspects of the phenomenon of transformation. On a linguistic level by means of the shift into German/English, on a spacial level through the walking distance between both sides of the wall, on a temporal level by the duration of the perception and the chemical property of the used substance, sublimating and disappearing completely after a few days.

Kunstraum Düsseldorf

They meander between sense and nonsense, gravity and levity.
