2019 – ’Host 0-5‘ –
Videos from social feeds, dating apps and make-up tutorials are played on the mobile devices which are stuck through the acrylic bodies. Since the bodies are transparent they act like a projection surfaces for the reproduced content from social media.
As an empty shell for medial content, these bodies have lost their individuality and self-determination. They hang from the ceiling on butcher hooks, becoming a passive product, they represent the standardized concept of women's bodies of our time.
This installation was part of the Digifem 2019 at Kampnagel Hamburg.

2019 – „Infusionstand“ – The digital space is instantaneously and globally interconnected. It satisfy's with the illusion of knowing/communicating and consuming everything the fastest way possible. While disconnecting from our physical bodies, it's environment and it's origins behind all the mobile devices this digital womb is aiming to reconnect and infuse itself into the minds of it’s kin, giving birth to infinite gender ideas, manifesting that gender is only a construct in our minds that we get infused with every day.

2018 – Ersatzteilewelt – www.etwelt.de
A moving poster series about replacement.
In our daily life everything becomes replaceable. We lose something? We brake something? We need an upgrade? Everything can be replaced, every desire satisfied! Both material and personal loss can be obliterated. In a world of excess and overstimulation it becomes a regularity.
But is everything replaceable? And is everything we replace really replaced? If we take a closer look there is more to it and we can differentiate between our experience and the replacement.
Yet the concept of replacement sneaks through our lifes and we are always on the lookout for the next best replacement, a better version of what we already have.
