Without directly addressing any particular theme, this work is the result of my practice of working with found materials. In my studio, I keep many objects that I have found interesting for one reason or another, and as part of the process, I combine them with each other. At the same time, what occupies my mind while I work inevitably reflects on the work.
I made this particular intervention with the knowledge that it would first be shown in Berlin, the city where I spent eleven years. My memories and attitudes related to this place were the focus of my attention – both as an introspection on a certain period of my life and as a critical look at the sustainability of memory.
I think that's what the work is about: how memory cools down or dissolves in the mind.
