"it takes two wo Tango"

Closeness through distance.
In tango, both dance partners keep a very precise distance between them.
To do this, they have to perform their movements together and precisely.
The better they manage to do this together, the more elegant the choreography looks. Do they know and feel each other? Do they take over their partner's movements in time? Can they make complex movement sequences look fluid and light together?
In dance, there is always a space between them - a distance. However, they primarily create an image of great closeness with their unified movements.
So there is no closeness without distance. The distance they both agree on is always the right degree of closeness.

washed up buoys, sheep wool
created during an Artist-in-Residence at NES in Skagaströnd in Iceland
After the performative smashing with a hammer, I repaired the buoys using an old technique. I sewed them with sheep's wool, just as valuable porcelain dishes in Iceland used to be put together for further use, sewn and boiled in milk without cream to seal up the cracks and holes. I am therefore offering it again for further use on the sea. In this idiocy, I wonder whether such a kind of return is possible and whether we learn from such repetitions.

The solo self-employed artists have found themselves in absolutely precarious living situations as a direct result of the coronavirus lockdown.
FED UP Represents pictorially that we all only have to seem fed up in order to broadly suppress our fears and needs.
