Ghostdrivers (means: drivers on the wrong side of the road) / photo installation within PARADIES - AUTO (paradise - car) 2005, EINSTELLUNGSRAUM e.V.
 
The titles of the photographs name longitudes and latitudes of the exact geographical spot of their emergence. Like the marking of a particular geographical spot in comparison to another of this kind makes reading of maps possible, so do these photographs of the exhibition virtually form a net of timely as well as geographical connection. They keep a pure condition.
It is done without aimed staging or technical refinery. Though the impression can come up that the pictures follow a pre-fixed concept, but this only happens because of the choices and putting together of the photograps which came about more for documentary reasons.  Their staging or story-telling surface is only due to the moment. A rainbow cannot be ordered to happen as little as snow can, its covering quality only seemingly contradicts my aim to model mole hills.
The impossibility to understand something that lies beneath covering, or what happens at the other end of the rainbow is similiar to the try to imagine being a mole hill, and research its systems of paths whilst drawing. Those are something that exists in reality, but appears fairy-tale-like, frightening or impossible.
