(work in progress) Bucharest archive, 20 years on...
"Because they can see that we know. That no one can save us, that no one else can save them; only we can save ourselves. That's the law of the street these days."

Fear binds me to this landscape
"Fear binds me to this landscape,"she says,
fear at what I might find or lose,
fear of what might find or lose me out here
where everything seems familiar and foreign, all at once.

work in progress
What is it about Bad Elster?The installation is an investigation into the presentation and re-presentation of memory and history. Through found material such as photograph and archive material I show how the private and public, the factual and the fictional, imaginary are inseparably intertwined.
Only by recognizing the complexity of our collective past we realize the ability to restruct memory. Here I demonstrate how given historical facts can be turned upside-down through the differingnarrations of history. In my exploration of the relationship between art, history and memory, the work inhabites a contemporary actuality.
The project is accompanied by a series of collages: the first explores the conceptual framework, the process and; the second, functions as the source, inspiration, reference for the entire project, consisting of philosophical articles; and the third, discuses "collective memory" through four studies.
