Everything is “nothing”
Matter is energy is light is information is mind is nothing,
It moves, always and everywhere.
How does everything fit together? Painting, performance, installation, objects, dance and movement in space and time, a reality filled with creativity and expression from an inner, unknown source. These different media are the dimensions of my “art-reality”. They have different “watches”, different working times and different speeds. A painting stands, or moves very slowly and remains, a performance vanishes. In exhibition or performance, those dimensions are then united as “one” reality, unfolding their spectrum between me – the artist and the audience – the viewer. Through the performances, I get into the artwork myself and “paint on from inside”. At this moment, I change the perspective. The viewer become (from my perspective) to be viewed, the art comes alive. It plays with. It talks and interacts with the audience, who becomes the art itself, who creates unnoticed by reacting to me and interacting with me. This is how my ideas becoming tangible, they become real. The further way leads me through video production and composition of sounds into digital. So conserved and edited, past sequences are immortally multimedia anchored in the present. For me, a spiral of production, presentation and further development of my work arises.
On the canvas, I seek the alchemy between the colours, my subject and the moment. “Frozen Time” – as a documentation and memories of past moments or as a snapshot of a current process.
For installations I use easily movable, dynamic materials, such as Fabric, rope and threads. This setup is often the stage for my performance.
My art is a playful interpretation of questions from physics and philosophy, worldview and zeitgeist. In this way, I can explore and express the unknown. I can do it with my body, in the form of movement, be the brush tip or a danced piece. Our body is the bridge to reality and our understanding of things, of the world between the vastness of the cosmos and the bizarre quantum world. From there we look at the world and the world looks at us.
