EIN BILD SPIEGELT SICH NOCH IN MIR, 3 min
A PICTURE STILL MIRRORS IN ME, 2 min 30 sec, video, 2021
"I think the subject of »mirrored time« is a good playful idea that each of us has always experienced. The past is reflected in memories, in photos, on tombstones and the present can be literally reflected physically. I developed my video installation in which I mirror moving images in an imaginative space with my artistic way. For me, the room is consolation for all opposites, a spiritual purification from the past to the present. A mirror that is always changing, breaks this mirror into many pieces, creating a new shape, a reflection of space and time."
