“Flex”: Site-specific intervention in collaboration with Wendelin Pressl. Flex and the Fluc are two major rivaling night clubs in Vienna. The Fluc invited the two artists in the framework of the exhibition serie “In der Kubatur des Kabinetts. Der Kunstsalon im Fluc” to realize a work. By using the same amount of neons lights, the sign of the FLUC was turn in to the one of it´s competitor FLEX.”
“Heldenplatz”: During the Austrian national day i took a foto of me standing in front of a tank, parked at the Heldenplatz (Heroes’ Square). An historical plaza in Vienna built under the reign of the Emperor Franz Joseph and controversially became known for Adolf Hitler announcing the “Anschluss” of Austria to the German Reich here. The Picture recalls the events of 1989, during Tiananmen protest, when an unknown rebel stood in front of a column of tanks stopping them from proceeding. The work reflects on the concepts of monuments, rebellion and national identity.
“The Shift”: Street signs at the border between Italy and Slovenia where switch with each other during the night and remained shifted for two weeks before the competent authorities relocated them to their original position.
