"Drawing" A black rectangle and a tape recorder. When switching on the tape recorder, exhibition-goers can listen to the rhythm and sounds I produce while drawing.
"Painting" A blank canvas and a slide projector. When the projector is turned on, a painted pattern appears on the canvas (Immaculate Conception). This is not the image of a slide, but an original pictorial motif.
"Bausteine" A collection of thoughts and a lamp. When the lamp is lit, one can peruse the texts and images. This is an unfinished, open work. It will evolve over time, with the addition and, perhaps, removal of elements. The German word "Bausteine" means "building blocks," but figuratively also refers to the components of a theory.
