Usum 2015 Installation in the Exhibition Rooms of Modern Art Museum Winterthur, Height 280 cm, Width 550 cm, Depth 450 cm An important point of reference for the entire exhibition is the initial for projecting-purposes-built bunk of the Museum s Seitenlichtsaal: This is a new, improved and furtherthought version of the exhisting art work called Werkbank (2006). Due to this practical usage it sheds its status of art to regain it after completed labour. The outline drawings showing the place of every gadget reminisce simple techniques of pictorial perception of trivial objects. This recourse approaching childdrawing-techniques resembles a flirt with naivety in a time of artful highend composition. Translated from Joelle Menzi, Kunsthalle Winterthur

Handapparat 2015 Stained Beech Wood Case, Glass Shelves, Clay Objects, Height 160 cm, Width 160 cm, Depth 42 cm Handapparat alludes to manageable hand-used gadgets. It is a form-collection of assorted clay objects in variable states of aggregation, hardened to moist. Spraying the clay turns it pliable once more. In this way the clay becomes a time machine, the manual apparatus a short-term memory, a mass to be formed anew.

AusSicht 2014 2014 Neurological Model of a Panorama-View, Slats, Fence, Insulators, Electrical-Voltage Device, Installation View Kunstwege Pontresina The art-work AusSicht creates a new Sight from the terrace of the Hotel Post in Pontresina. It gives impulses to re-see the scenery as a neurological construction. The builtpanorama with fence underlies electrical voltage. The manipulated view looks past our perception and asks, whether all we perceive is mere a brain-induced electric stimulation.
