A series of tapestries woven of fibres of stinging nettles.A photo-sensitive mixture of iron salts is being sprayed onto the tapestries and the UV-light of the full moon reacts with it. Everything that falls on the tapestry during the night leaves an impression on the otherwise cyan surface.

Close horizon consists of knotted nylon nets onto which a large amount of Roses metal (an alloy with a melting point of 98°) has been melted. On a western slope the nets are placed on stands just before sunset. A fresnel-lens magnifying glass catches the sunset and concentrates it onto the metal, which is placed in a wide funnel-shaped container, above the net. The metal melts onto/mixes itself with the net.

Trees have been cut down and sliced up. I burned parts of the wood and grinded the coal into dust. I withdrew resin from the living trees before cutting them down. The coal dust cooked with the resin makes a natural wood glue with which I force the slices together.

Pivot 2012 / 2014 / 2017 Turned steel objects, leatherLengths between 18 and 24,5 cm

Crucial parts of powerful machines with a large impact on history, enlarged to fit in the palm of a hand.

Flourish, Oblivion, Plunge, Red Dawn 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 Letter press printed texts on paper 22 x 28 cm.

Words and sentences are used as a raw material. The final text ends up being a meticulous collage of rewritten quotes,self-constructed vocabulary and summations.

In the series of films Aktion, simple machines perform an action.The action is triggered by the windup handle of the camera, making the structures radically alter themselves.
