ZWISCHENRÄUME III
“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.
An object reminiscent of old prostheses or medical devices created as philosophical toy. It transforms a three dimensional space in a space being experienced in the second dimension. The metal rod suggests the outline of a stylized, linear space, enclosing the person wearing it. This graphic space changes according to movement of the body indicating two dimensional spaces of different sizes and distances. Due to the braces the body is kept in a limited position in correlation to the metal rod and the wheels. Given that the view is forced to follow the linear movement, the three dimensional body is constrained to experience the options, which are given to movement in the second dimension.
