    Untitled, 2013 | 2014

The image of a Greek torso is hanging upside down on the wall; strongly pixelated and its colors inverted. On the floor below lie several dried up cement sacks. Resembling archeological fragments in their sculptural presence, they appear corporeal and likewise destroyed. Three bamboo sticks are leaned loosely against the wall and the print. On the one hand, they are placed as a dynamic sculptural element. On the other, they are reminiscent of building sites and temporary dwellings thus creating a reference point leading beyond the substantially present European culture.
