Three interventions, FUGE (Group show), Museum Ulm, 2021
Three works are shown as part of the group exhibition FUGE that took place in museum Ulm in 2021. As the title of the exhibition „FUGE“ (gap) refers to the things in-between, the works evolved around the idea of intervening into the existing collection of the museum in three different approaches: Something blown in from outside, an interpretation and invading the architecture.
Intervention one:
An effort to blow it
Each one bleached with individual symbols or words, the feathers become vessels of memory shards and cryptic information. Between left behind intentionally and natural occurrence, the feathers are a ghostly reflection of the yearly cycle of the molting birds, scattered around the museums collection.
Intervention two:
Suit thing, cloth thing, head thing
​
​Part of the collection contains a master board of the tailor's guild from the sixteenth century. In a collaborative exchange, together with Maryna Makarenko, we aimed to reenact the triptych in form of a performative video, in which we embodied 60 different personas together forming an abstracted guild that seems to revolve around sports wear and long hair.
Suit thing, cloth thing, head thing reflects the archival form of representation of a group, staged in our present time as a video engaging playfully with the category of the tableau vivant.

Intervention three:
Untitled (Wall cutouts), 2021
​
Cut open museum walls reveal the inner structures of the museum in a literal sense, pointing towards the gaps and spaces that are usually hidden. The museum walls became a sculptural work that suspended their usual function as art-bearing walls, evolving to a potential stage set, a place where an action is made visible.
