base
Duration: 14 minutes
September 2005 | communstic theater / Poland / Krakau
Material: pair of military boots, wooden ground
I am standing in a basement in the former Electronic Technical University in Krakau,
now a Community Theater. The stage a construction of wood, under my feet, plywood boards and below only empty space.
Above my head, attached to the ceiling hangs a flashlight emmiting a week illumination. The remainder of space lies in
darkness. I wear military boots . Slowly I begin to march. The wooden flooring and the space below act as a „Klangkörper“ ( sound body ). My march echoes through the building. With the increasing thunder of my steps eching through the floors above, the association to the rolling of bull dozers or tanks is obvious. The room becomes eerie space,threatening and ominous. I feel the violence of my step through my entire body. I change my pace becoming quiter, slower, a light dance, even a tap dance step, walking lightens the atmosphere. At the end of my performance building to thunder once more. Then it is over, I switch the flashlight off. Darkness.
I developed this performance one day after my first visit of Ausschwitz. Unable to illustrate my experience in words,
my performance expressed my feelings of helplessness, shame and powerlessness, giving a form to my emotions.
golden shower
Duration: 13 Minuten
25.11.2004 | Art Museum Kiel
Material : 7,5 litres of gold oil paint, shower installation, silver skirt, silver shoes
Under the ceiling is a black canister which is attached to a shower installation.
I open the valve. The goldstream begins. 7,5 litres of golden oil paint will now flow slowly over me. My gold-gilding takes place. The gold pours over my closed eyes, mouth and ears.
The performance shows the ambivalence in process of reaching to a higher status or instance. There is a possibility of damaging my vision or the subtle threatening suffocation through the increased closing of the pores of my skin.
With the higher aesthetical quality is also a painful moment to this work, experienced by the spectator, which sinks into the memory deeply.

Duration: 2,5 hour
June 17th 2004 | Promenade of Kiel
Group Performance with 23 people
23 people march during the 'Kieler Woche' over several hours in a massive and undividable block along the Kiel Promenade.
The result, some spectators are amused, others somewhat irritated. The gregarious atmosphere in the unity of this marching and rhythmic troup causes happy and elated yells. Curiosity and obvious supressed behaviour, misunderstanding and rising agression.
The whole band-width of 'Good and Evil' emotions manifests itself amongst the spectators.
Thanks to 22 wide awake fellow travellers!
