Meine Welt Neue Welt
The core of the project is the car as model of economic growth and social change and relating evolution and optimisation of production and maintenance systems in
the car fields.
This works are a sort of archeological findings of paint taken from tools and structures used to re-paint the car bodies in repair shops, and whose layers have gathered
over decades. The “objects” are re-contextualised on new raw aluminium tubes.

Sundays is a reflection on car tuning using wrapping film, a recent improvement in the car body sector for re-paint and change cars colours or customisation.
I’m interested in the idea of how industrial objects change shape, for example after an accident, a car after a crash.
The matte metallic colours easily emphasise the sculptural shape of a crashed fender.

244 x 122 x 2,5 cm
“your third eye is open” is a 1:1 scale reproduction of a wooden board enclosing
a construction site. The holes originally serve as links between the inside and
outside. At the same time they scan and cut off chromatic portions of reality,
precisely referring to a certain space and time.
