Impermanent Sculptures (of Indestructible Objects)
since 2016
photography, installation

'Impermanent Sculptures (of Indestructible Objects)' belongs to a strongly process based body of work developed within various media like sculpture, photography, writing, performance and installation, dealing with the topics of plastic and pollution, consumerism and value.
Since the act of walking has always been a working method of mine and one stumbles over trash constantly, I created a frame of rules for me to follow.

1. Collect garbage and found objects.
2. React as immediately and spontaneously as possible on site.
3. Create a sculpture within a limited time frame.
4. Take a photograph, showing a short moment of balance and fragility.

The title refers both to the ephemeral aspect of the sculptures and to the time the garbage takes to decompose.
