ZWISCHENRÄUME II

“Zwischenraum” is most commonly defined as the free space in between two or more things, as well as the time distance between incidences. Like this, it can exist as both defined and undefined space. As well, considered from a psychological point of view as a state of mind or philosophically as something illimitable, mysterious and sometimes threatening.

In general, “Zwischenraeume” can be seen and experienced as something fragile, undefined, temporary and cryptic. By their uncertain nature they ask constantly for definition and debate when being confronted with them.

My interest lies less in directly defining a certain “Zwischenraum”, but more in exploring its conditions and acquainting oneself with it.

I am creating objects which are able to exist in and symbolize the feeling of being positioned in an undefined “Zwischenraum”. Hence providing these objects their own habitat in which they are in charge.The objects interact with the body and the senses and offer, a way to experience the inbetween and the possibility of being confronted with it, eliminating the need of defining it entirely.

Device to escape the "Zwischenraum".
