Großes Eckfenster [Large Corner Window] features a light, sheer fabric printed with fleeting images of window reflections stretched over door and window fragments. The material itself (polyester) is non-reflective; the subject nears the eye as if you're approaching it through a woven veil.

The sculptural space only becomes visible as the viewer walks around the piece and peers through it. The observer is led to reevaluate his perceptions of the image and the sculptural object via the experience of looking at a photo this way. The scale has been shrunken so the whole piece acts like a counterpart to the viewer's own physical presence and size.

I have always tried to combine image and sculpture in a direct way that doesn't involve technology (like projections, for example). My photos stand for a visual memory that confronts the spacial experience of objects so that the photograph becomes three dimensional as well. Because they're printed on transparent fabric, one is able to look through the photograph, and at both sides of it.

The photo in this piece shows the two adjacent windows on a corner in Berlin. The fabric is streched around the corner of two attached freesatnding frames, just stapled onto them. Because the fabric is transparent, you think you can see through a glazed window into an interior space under construction. The reproduction and the real image interact and then swap in our memory.

The rebuilt trash can, along with architectural fragments like the windowsill and corrugated tin roof, transfrom the sculpture into an open structre with see-through walls. I etched some leaves into the inside of the trash can, which you can see if you look down into it. A leafy tree is reflected in the window in the photograph; in a sense, the object flattens its information to become part of the image again.
