EREIGNISHORIZONT (HORIZON EVENT)

A CURTAIN with three breadths of wire-netting FENCE is hanging over a bar in front of a window section in the exhibition hall not covered by black foil (better two sections). The breadths are hanging one upon another in a way that they build a graphic structure in the order of the medial section (goldener schnitt). The lattice is covering the pane of glass, the bounds of the window are at the same time also the bounds of the picture resulting from lattice structure, window and landscape or architecture behind it. This curtain and his structure and the reflection of the glass as an optical and physical phenomenon defines the view, the picture behind the visual and thematical impression.

  The natural conditions and changes like angle of the light, weather outside etc. are employing the ephemeral character of perception. In the same way works the visitor himself with his movement when the fence with an effect of always changing moiré is gliding like a graphic structure through the picture. Dualistic structures, covering and uncovering, transparency, looking through, the guided view (optically and hence also thematically) are typical characteristics of my work.

LAYING INFORMATION BARE

The facade of the RAIKA building (regional banking house) on the river Glan in St.
Veit will be stripped of all information signage such as logos, branding numbers,
traffic signs and window displays. In conjunction with this stripping of information
the large RAIKA sign on the nearby traffic island will be removed.

  The public zone in front of the building is also to be included in the above project in order to fully define the spatial character of the whole concept.

Our brain does not merely function as an archive but is also a most efficient demolition mechanism. If one gets rid of the visible, underlying structures will
become apparent. The forgotten moves into the present whereas the stage
which had been present and visible only recently slips into oblivion. The clutter diffuses and a kind of clarity emerges.

The body of the RAIKA building is laid bare and a sense of space is created
in front of the building. The act of clearing, of removing any sign of
information enables us to see what our brain has already accomplished. It no
longer perceives the shroud of information.
The reconstruction of the past is presented as an aesthetic proposition.
 
Historical moments are mixed with a conception of a potential world.Gain and loss hold an equilibrium ­ unstable to the extreme sensitive to every motion. The need to establish a constant  self-presence, the desire to be constantly engaged in acts of appropriation would mean nothing less but to bury the present.

Forgetting brings forgotten to light.
