The glass panes of the front door of the “Kunstarkaden” Gallery have been hammered out. The filter between inside and outside was revealed by these cracks, which appear as patterns. The panes were dismantled after the exhibition and hung in the “Neue Galerie” in Landshut in 2018, in keeping with the proportions of the original French window.

Destined for demolition, Munich’s famous Prinzregent Hotel has been transformed into an exhibition space by curator Michael Hofstetter. The hammered panes of glass were melted together with their frames to form a volume exhibited in the space. The curtains were hung in front of the entrance to the space, so that visitors could enter only through the garden. The empty frames left their negative imprint on the curtains, which had previously been impregnated with a photosensitive solution.

…” Our Knockout blow. What was before can be lost forever only with one more micro step. It often tends to get faster and I can choose to save the material reactions from its momentum or let it degenerate. Sometimes I have to brake it myself. A machine. Remaining “in between”, there is something like a missing step, I don’t get. Folding, unfolding, I am trying to regulate avoiding systematic solutions.”
