(Un)Monument for (Re)Positioning

Juli 2023,
performative installation

graduate show at HFBK Hamburg



Un-Monument for Re-Positioning is a performative installation encompassing an interplay of elements within the space it occupies. The seven laser-cut scores on cobalt blue paper are positioned at an elevated height,and are illegible from the floor. In an ongoing rhythm, the performers relocate the stairs approximately once every hour. They are my trusted companions and artistic colleagues. The act of physically shifting the stairs is humble and unagitated.

Un-Monument for Re-Positioning reflects on my experiences at the HFBK, my artistic practice, the value of friendship and artistic processes.
