A soccer pitch emerges based on a process standardized down to the last detail. Layers of sand and soil are piled up and leveled, pieces of turf are rolled out and cut to size. Nothing is left to chance. Only when nature has been cast into shape can the game begin.

Like clock is a work made up of multiple borrowed and familiar aspects, assembled on its own terms. The essential premise would seem to be about staging a gathering-together in a place that appears to have its own rules.

“In 1976, the last woman to compete in a Formula 1 race steps down: In the “Austrian Grand Prix”, Italian racer Leila Lombardi was the last to hit the finish line, but at least she reached it. Her fastest lap time was 1:42,25 – this is also the length of the planned video installation. Composed of tracking shots as well as static shots of the Red Bull Ring and a performer representing Lella Lombardi, the so far last female Formula 1 driver is honored in the ambience of the “Spielberg-Ring”.” (by k. s.)

The Silver Wave is a 10-minute film based on an Iñupiak woman named Ada Blackjack who was the only surviving member of an ill-fated mission to Wrangel Island in 1921. Themes of ecology, the precarity of the environment we live in and what isolation feels like will be recounted through the diaries of Ada Blackjack. Her words echo our current experiences of being faced with long-term isolation and social distancing.

“”Marguerite’s Desires” is a video work about French Feminist Marguerite Durand (1864-1936). The work makes a connection between two places founded by Durand: the pet cemetery Cimetière des Chiens and the Bibliothèque Marguerite Durand in Paris. Durand, a former actress at Comédie-Française, became interested in politics after the Congrès féministe international in 1896. She then founded the journal “La Fronde” (The Sling), a journal solely written and edited by women. Marguerite had a lion, which she lovingly called tiger and which brought her also publicity for her political campaign. In 1899 she founded the pet cemetery Cimetière des chiens in Asnières-sur-Seine, close to Paris. Although an animal lover, she founded the cemetery for purely hygienic reasons. In 1932, she donated her extensive collection of journals and literature to the government, and the Bibliothèque Marguerite Durand was founded. It was the very same place where Durand died in 1936 of a heart attack.” (by k. s.)

“A project about the Ostend Company, which was founded by Austrian Emperor Charles VI in 1722. At the time, Ostend was part of the Austrian South Netherlands. After the War of the Spanish Succession, the Southern Netherlands became Austrian territory. The Ostend Company was modeled after the successful models of the Dutch and English East India Companies, which were very profitable at that time. In Banquibazar, which is now Ichapore, the Austrians established one commercial post, or “colony.” Due to political pressure from England and the Netherlands, the company was short-lived.” (by k. s.)

“A video about `Highpoint´ by Tecton architecture group in London. The apartment blocks at Highpoint are most probably the most celebrated of all 1930s works. They are widely illustrated and object of international acclaim, eg by Le Corbusier during his visit after its completion in 1935.” (by k. s.)

“According to a survey from 2003 and confirmed by a Google Maps entry in 2016, the center of the Earth is placed close to the Anatolian city Corum in Turkey. The coordinates provided are: 42´´ 52´ N 34´´ 34´ E. I enter these coordinates in one of my navigation devices and follow its direction to the center of the world. I arrive and I am happy to be at the center. But something seems odd. I decide to double check and I enter the coordinates again into a second navigation device. It says I am not in the correct location. So the journey goes on. I get into my car again.” (by k. s.)
