Cocktail Sculpture, 2008 (front, detail)

Glass, destilled water, paraffin oil, wooden pedestal
In this work a glass cube is filled with a layer of distilled water and a layer of paraffin oil. Here, light becomes perceptible as a material in the sculptural arrangement because the different density of the two liquids refracts and separates it.

Single channel video, DVD, DVD-Player
Duration: 5:30 minutes, loop

The work consists of a frantic succession of thousands of superposed horizontal rectangles of different sizes and colours. The work combines experiments with ocular spectra and experiments with the hypnotic effect of changes in rhythm.

Untitled, 1990-2002 (back, wall)
Aluminium, plinth
Two aluminium pieces are mounted opposite to each other along two walls of the space. Depending on the viewer's position the floor is enlarged by the mirrored effect of the surface. The floor is not plane anymore.
