Deflateable und Klanginstallation
2024













Gewalt hat nicht eine einzelne Gestalt.

Gewalt hat auch keine einfache Gestalt.

Gewalt hat viele Gesichter.

Gewalt kennt viele Geschichten.

Betroffene betrifft die fremde Betroffenheit genau so sehr,

aber viel mehr betrifft sie die eigene Betroffenheit.

Die Betroffenheit ist ebenfalls so mannigfaltig wie 

die Gestalten der Gewalt.

Die mannigfaltigen Gestalten der Gewalt resonieren

in unbegreifbar tiefen Schmerzen.

Betroffen.

Unbegreifbar betroffen sein.








Dive into the soundscape in order to get a glimpse of the overall atmosphere of the Installation. Each sound file is played on one of four directional speakers as part of the deflateable sculpture. You may stand at certain spots close by the breathing sculpture and listen to these words (written and recorded by the artist) being whispered into your ears. This gives a unique experience and ensures the immersion of the visitor into the artwork. You can also find the transcripts of the recordings below.

Pandemic. Lockdown. The world holds its breath. People are left to fend for themselves. Families are crammed together in tight spaces. No way out, no protection. Worlds collide. Opinions differ. People are trapped in small apartments with partners or parents who were already violent before. No way out, no help. The connection to the outside world has been severed. The abusers sleep in the same bed or in the room next door, no longer even leaving for work. They are completely at their mercy. They can’t get out. They can’t escape. Where are they supposed to go? Video conferences in the home office. No one sees behind the scenes. They are neatly dressed, he behaves himself, or he’s also in a video conference. What options do they have now? They can’t talk to anyone; he’s always listening. They can’t ask for help because he would find out immediately and punish them even more. „You belong to me,“ he says. „You belong to no one else,“ he lives by.
