ENG// Which opportunities does unfolding a paper roll (2,20m high, 20 m long and with a weight of 295 gm/m2) offer? Standing with a large, heavy paper roll, I slowly enfold it. My body moves the large paper roll and the paper moves my body: Thus, paper bodies get created and in the next moment they get dissipated again. What remains, is a picture of the paper’ s vulnerability in the beauty of a fragment which lets everything ephemeral flow, live, and be there. The paper itself unfolds in space and thus “paints” similar to a brush stroke. Like in painting, the decisions I make during the performance become apparent in a direct as well as in an intuitive way. My body and senses and therefore my subjective experiences during the performance are mostly inside of the paper’s body. I personally experience the translucency of the paper; I experience the paper itself as a geometrical body. However, during the performance, I never see the shapes which are created as whole. It is only by looking at my work from the outside afterwards, by taking the perspective of a visitor, a photographer, or of a person who is filming the performance that I become aware of the decisions I made during the performance process. In my work I examine the boundaries between the inner world and inner perception and the outside world. My work is about the fine line which separates inner and outer world, about the transition from an illusionistic image to real space.
