"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.

Detour use - Design processes are processes of appropriation. They offer the opportunity to become aware of one's own power to act and shape the world in a self-willed way. Processes in which self-determination over one's own life is developed.

gefunden … Zu viel Arbeit, zu weite Wege, zu lange Abwesenheit, zu kaputt, zu schmutzig, zu anders, zu groß, zu klein, zu unpassend, zu gruselig, zu mitgenommen, zu dunkel, zu eintönig, zu viel erlebt, zu wenig erlebt, zu bunt, zu langweilig, zu albern, zu modern, zu alt, zu politisch unkorrekt, zu eigenartig …
Es gibt viele Gründe, die es erschweren, einen passenden Zweiten zu finden.
This installation has now grown to more than 150 gloves since 2019. As an installation, it is impressive due to its size and diversity. When the individual parts are removed they are objectified.
