My three-dimensional objects and installations consist of individual parts, always positioned on two and sometimes on several levels. You as the viewer can trigger optical shifts, separations and connections of planar or linear elements by changing your position, creating a variety of forms and illusionary spaces, switching between two- and three-dimensional experience. Similar experiences can be had when consciously experiencing a city, a landscape. Each step brings about an optical change: individual buildings merge and are reduced to a wall, parts of buildings and landscapes that are far apart from each other can seemingly be brought onto one level. Mountains change their face …even a minimal step – physically and mentally – can change the view of the world enormously…

IT IS WHAT BECOMES…
