„An angle of 180 Degrees is a straight line or half a circle“, 2007. Colotype/Dibond
170 x 127 cm. Ed. 1/3
"Italian Square". Installative performance. Plywood, italian citizens /mp3-player, sound boxes, 200 x 200 x 20 cm. Italian Square is both a sculpture and performance. The square platform installed in the exhibition space reminds of a "forum", a space which offers opportunity for public communication and -discussion and functions quasi as an cultural-export-stereotype for italian identity.

"The stationary point in the evolution of a system", 2012-2014. Lambda Print, 70 x 100 cm. Ed 3
"Heldenplatz", 2007. PVC banner print. 2,45 cm x 1,66 cm. During the Austrian national day i stood in front of a tank, parked at the Heldenplatz (Heroes’ Square), an historical plaza in Vienna built under the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph and controversially became known for Adolf Hitler announcing the “Anschluss” of Austria to the German Reich here. The Picture recalls the events during Tiananmen protest in Peking in 1989, when an unknown rebel stood in front of a column of tanks stopping them from proceeding. The work reflects on the concepts of monuments, rebellion and national identity.
“The Stationary Point in the Evolution of a system”, 2018. Marker/Paper, 70 x 100 cm
“People who own this artwork”, 2018. Marker/Cardboard, 29,5 x 21 cm
