The last drops dried up. The promise of endless growth did not come true. Society evaporated into the endless thirst for self-optimization, youth and immortality. Humans sit in temporary dwellings with chaotic dreams and never ending anticipation, but it is a dying planet. Two protagonists set out on a quest to break out of this drought. They are like heroes, born in a bleached-out vision of paradise. They seek for an invisible place, everyone knows about, but only few have ever experienced it. A physical site that is spread in time and space, one can observe a little piece of it, but never the whole. The characters go through a liberating act of transformation to navigate in this unknown: They pull everything out they know and soak it in to relearn! In a time when the concerns of humanity seem too complex to be related to the individual, ‘The Tent’ moves in the space of the unconscious and questions common cultural images and symbols.

You buy and collect items to benefit and make everyday tasks easier. It is almost a form of development. You identify what needs to be changed, you look for better ways and find your solution. As soon as one problem can be calmed to be solved, you recognize you need more. The object becomes the repetitive task of improvement – it is not enough, you start anew.

It begins to grow on you. An almost primal feeling of urge to
go out, gather and collect, use your sense of touch to seek out the environment. Prepare your comfort and create security. Slowly, without noticing you are surrounded by tokens of yourself.

Now it‘s great. Everything is in its place. The view is narrowed into it, don‘t move. Stay still so nothing can break. No change. The ultimate tool.

The virtual installation undressing giants [ skin I ] is a conglomerate of a shedding cycle’s remains. An abandoned shell of a past consciousness – an abstract organism of creation that is already left behind by its host. Visitors are the protagonists of the installation’s eerie space. They become players as they take a first-person point of view while cruising around the floating parts of this entropic, fragile yet solid, ultimately unknown body. They become players, who – called by the sirens of this virtual landscape – are unable to resist the urge to seek action and look for treasures in the seductive, actually bottomless void of the installation’s reality.

The installation The One who looks down forms into an organic system of tangled lumps. Rough surfaces battle with wrinkled facades. A shimmery coat dresses the dark mess. The bodies turn and twist in an inner struggle, at the same time unable to escape the gentle pull of gravity. Grown here, aged here, deeply rooted. Like a rich fauna that feeds one. Like the fertile land one longs for. Like an ancient being that one visits. Like a shadow one meets in awe.
