Human-specific objects, 2014-
Work in progress, mixed media
In diesem Projekt beobachtet die Künstlerin eine Distanz zwischen dem selbstreferentiellen Kunstsystem und ihrer „praktischen“ Umwelt, um herauszustellen, welche Kunst, wenn überhaupt, die Gesellschaft haben will. Die Menschen, die selbst überwiegend keine Künstler sind, werden über ihre Verhältnis zur Kunst informell befragt und auch aufgefordert, die Kunstaufträge zu vergeben und auch gelegentlich mitzugestalten. Aus dieser Auftragsarbeit entsteht eine Art des „alternativen Museums“ , das von einer disparaten „imagined community“ der einzelnen Auftragsgeber de facto kuratiert wind.

HSO n°6:
Melting Butter
"The butter slowly melting on a plate during a long winter breakfast is a typical experience of many people. For me, this seemingly mundane process embodies the battle between time and space, in which the former, expectedly, gets the upper hand.
As time goes by, a piece of butter irredeemably loses its symmetrical shape. When it is placed back in the fridge, this "back" does not restore its symmetry. Actually, the butter in question cannot become symmetrical by itself anymore, because time that transformed its shape has just one direction, and this asymmetry is stronger than any geometrical symmetry. But on canvas, this unceasing movement from past to future is paradoxically frozen: in this way, a static picture captures the dynamics which actually cannot be visualized."
