Laufende Luftmaschen

Movement, repetition, aspects of repetitive work are components of artistic activities. They lead to a rhythmic processing of the individual elements and their sequences result in a pattern, a narrative. The woven becomes a body in its own way and enters into a dialogue with the objects. Two paintings call out thoughts to each other. They converse about conversation itself, about their own nature and physicality. About self-determination, about organs of communication. Are words bound to bodies? Do paintings want to have their peace? Are they alone or entangled? Is standstill the same as a dry state? These and other questions are posed by objects from the field. ´Laufende Luftmaschen´ presents an installation of paintings that deal with their own corporeality, fluid situations, and self-determination while exploring space.

Usually, this process preceded by research on queerfeminist theory and practice, leading to focuses such as care, utopia, and the body.
