Image Interference

2024
Illusion painting with microrelief
2nd prize in the art and architecture competition "Renovation and conversion of the Villa Liegnitz in Potsdam"
H 4,05 x W 4,87m

The south wall of the reception room of Villa Liegnitz is entirely taken up by the light blue tones of a cloudless sky. Only the brown-reddish-dark stains and scratches disturb the idyll and refer to its problematic past as the last residence of the Hohenzollern heir to the throne, Prince August-Wilhelm, a partisan of the National Socialists: the sky over Germany is and remains the “grave in the clouds” that Paul Celan speaks of in his Todesfuge. "Image Interference” warns against deceptive certainties and turns against forgetting.

Foreign Matter

2024
3rd place in the "Competition Art in Architecture - Art meets Science at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB)"
Drop Sculpture, cast aluminum
H 2,12 x W 3,40 x D 2,06m

A shimmering metallic object is stranded on the forecourt of the HZB. The hollow body appears to be stretched to the limits of its capacity. Isolated rays of light penetrate through cracks and holes, forming a micro-universe of small points of light in the vague darkness of its interior. "Foreign Matter" symbolises man's insatiable thirst for knowledge. While he tries to grasp infinity, he remains a mystery to himself and his innermost being a world that is far from being fully illuminated.

Eau de Vie

2023
Design for the final round of the non-open, anonymous art-in-architecture competition Federal Ministry of Finance, canteen in the conference centre
constellation of three glass bodies
overall H 4,1 x W 7,05 x D 0,15m

On the left, a trail of shimmering red tones runs across the bare concrete of the rear wall surface. Right next to it, a watery substance oozes out of the wall. Opposite, a crystal-clear elixir has accumulated like a drop. The design “Eau de Vie” picks up on the phrase “blood, sweat and tears”, which reflects the price of freedom and self-determination. All three terms refer to vulnerability, effort and suffering, but also stand for vitality, energy and empathy. Placed in the canteen of the ministry, the miracle of human existence is set in relation to the profanity of its fundamental conditionality: food intake.

Impact

2022
Design for the competition Kurstr. 33 / Reconstruction and extension of the Foreign Office
illusionary relief, Grisaille
H 3 x W 11,39m

Before reaching the waiting area, the visitor to the annexe passes through a course of glazed doorways. On his way, his gaze repeatedly falls on the strangely distorted, undulating front wall of the waiting room. Wrinkled bulges emanate from an impact point in the right side of the wall and continue to the left in a wide arc. On approach, the ridges of height and shadowed depths reveal themselves as fine, dark as well as light mists of colour on smoothly plastered, pebble-grey walls.
