TANGLED, 2019
Installation / wall and room objects
At the center of the installative setting are three large-format images.
They were drawn on a touchscreen tablet and then photographed in high
resolution from the screen. Lines and shapes of varying width and color
crisscross the image surfaces. On closer inspection, moiré-like
structures can be seen. Freely cut out chipboards function as image
carriers for two of the Lambda prints. These objects are pressed to the
wall with wooden slats on which electric cables loop, which make LED
tubes glow. Another image is part of a sculptural installation on a
purple carpet. The picture is mounted behind a large plexiglas plate set
in a dark, angular base. An LED tube bores through the panel into the
base and appears to support the plate. In addition, pink lighting is
part of the setting, where a robotic vacuum cleaner unflinchingly
performs its programmed activity in lines and turns.
