Description:
Site specific sculptural installation presented in a car park. Artist Statement. ‘In my work I am interested in sculptural and spatial concepts in their context of symbiosis between parasite structures and hosts. This kind of symbiosis of parasite and host are part of every higher developed biological system and a phenomenon that can be found within others than biological contexts too. In my work I react with the aid of sculptural means on existing architectural and urban situations and use them as cause and carrier of my sculptural constructions. (…) Like in the piece “Systemerweiterung”, I try to find architectional situations as a carrier for my sculptural occupations, which fulfil a function and which are a common experience in daily life. My sculptures settle and grow within these situations and connect themselves mechanical by sticking to the wall. They are occupying not just a space in a supposed manner without any specific purpose, but especially existent, from other humans planned, designed and build places. (…) As a result of such occupation of a non-functional autonomous piece of art in the body of a building, which is in his function still used as a living-space, car park or something similar, the functionality of the building is obstructed or hindered.’
