Alles mit System

The artist displaces in her works a priori every approach of nostalgia, in which she serves the current predetermined products, often corresponding to the zeitgeist, so-called consumer articles from mass production. They are usually only useful for a short time, e.g. drinking straws, these are in a shrill color presentation, but sometimes coupled with time-still-current, long-lived articles, such as traditional metal parts from our working world, such as lever mechanics from Leitzordnern, which have been stripped by dismantling their conventional function and in their original
No connection with drinking straws or the other materials shown here.
