Chairs and MDF, video 5’24”

During the recorded performance, a spatial investigation of tension and balance between everyday objects and materials occurs. It simultaneously shows the deliberate process of an artist making a sculpture and the relationship between objects that are brought into relationship with each other. That relationship can falter due to small deviations, wrong choices or contingencies. Manipulation of one element has an immediate impact on other elements in the same mechanism. In the video, that system is visualized by tilting found chairs on their back legs and stacking them on top of each other. The objects are balanced in three layers by placing wooden boards between them and by the weight they exert on each other.
