Transformation (2022)
Object, wood, waste cardboard, solar panel from advertising, paint, glue, plastic

An extinguished wood fire, oil barrel and a solar panel are arranged rising on a staircase. The work presents the phases of man’s energy extraction from nature. Gone are the pre-industrial days with the open wood fire on the left. We are in the middle of the fossil phase and need to enter renewable energy production on the right because of the acute climate crisis. Through our use of fossil fuels, we have caused a climate crisis that threatens humanity. The transformation consists of quickly replacing fossil energy production with renewable energy.

An artificial denture, whose teeth shine brightly from the inside, rattles when it moves. The white teeth should help to compete in the market of beauty. The work gives a glimpse into the future, where it will be considered chic to show bright teeth. Nature should be helped in this way. The profane clattering, throws the viewer back to the actual earthly, where one eats and sometimes has to keep one’s mouth shut.

Corona screams to the heavens.

Corona screams to the heavens. Storkow (M), 2020, 18 x 17 x 28 cm, object, wood, electric motor, steel, mirror foil, power supply. Video 24 Sec.

If the world is managing the Corona crisis, I ask why it has come to us. It has common causes with the climate crisis, e.g. we fly too much. Wild animals, livestock and animal products are transported around the globe. Another reason is factory farming, e.g. swine flu, bird flu, or Spanish flu. We humans are claiming more and more wildlife habitats for ourselves. Environmental degradation affects natural species communities. As a result, contact between wildlife, livestock and humans is increasing. The Corona crisis shows that humanity has reached a turning point, it must preserve the remaining natural areas. Otherwise the pandemics will repeat themselves.

The response of the states shows that with strong crisis action, containment of the Corona crisis is possible. This is exactly what we need for the climate crisis. The viewer is an actor at the counter who can influence both crises.

Flood

Politicians seem concerned, speak of insight.
You manage disaster politically.
But what measures are those responsible taking more seriously and more consistently against the cause of the climate crisis?
What else has to happen for us to take the wake-up call seriously, for politics to wake up, for the voters to go on like this?
We do not take the risks seriously and cling to our fossil fuel habits.
These deluges will be repeated and even stronger, here and becausewide. The energy turnaround with the move away from fossil fuels to renewables must come much faster.
