A Story of Loss and Pain – Clashing Worlds
The work is about the moment when an old reality collides with a new one. Whether through an interpersonal conflict, a sudden loss, or a shift into a new era. In such moments, established ways of thinking and acting reach their limits.
Today, such a transition is becoming visible. In the age of AI, the distance between idea and realization is shrinking. Knowledge, ability and action increasingly merge into one another. Ideas can move directly into realization while continuing to evolve in the process.
The work translates this development into its own structure. The product is not presented at the end, but at the beginning — and within its own becoming. Different spaces complement and intensify one another simultaneously.
At its core, the work revolves around the question: Who do I become while human agency accelerates dramatically? What remains worth striving for?
The work concludes with the appearance of an artifact. It condenses the collision of different realities: its authenticity can only be verified by destroying it.

A Story of Loss and Pain – Clashing Worlds is a conceptual work situated between installation, digital space and auction. The auction is part of the structure: each bid continuously shifts meaning. The installation can be shown simultaneously in different locations. The process ends in spring 2027.
The work extends into a digital space (instagram.com/ikonohh) where the ongoing process becomes visible and the auction unfolds. The space contains four pages of wall text and a white pedestal holding 0,1g osmium.
