Installation, 2020

The installation was developed in 2020 for the atrium of “ - association for contemporary art” as part of the exhibition “in suspense - albeit unintentionally - rather acrobatic”. It shows a dichotomy in which man is held and supported by the system and at the same time prevented from being free and self-determined. Thereby a discourse about existing social systems and the personal existence in them shall be stimulated. To what extent does one need the system, its structure and support and where and to what extent is one restricted by it? Is there an opportunity and the will to change and improve something? What would be possible in social systems in which each individual can exist as freely as possible? Is such a social system even conceivable? Or is it like Henri Lefebvre describes it in his book “the right to the city” “every system tends to end thinking, to close perspectives”. The title results from adding up all the numbers that recording me in various systems (Authority / Account / Customer Numbers, etc...).
