The sketches for an installation, which is not yet carried out, base upon an already tired and half-observing visit of the Confucius Temple in Beijing.

After the visit I tried to remember what I had seen. I was intrigued of the Hall Of Great Achievements, as I reconstructed it in my mind. Intentionally I tried neither to understand nor to decode this vague impression and started with a kind of translation into a personal pictorial „vocabulary“. Particularly I was interested in the setting and the proportionality of the subjectively categorized elements . This kind of translation intends to loosely adopt achievements of a sacral reality into my sometimes sceptical activity. I am aware of a non sequitur and therefore even interested in developing misconceptions.

Considering fragments of common manifestations unverified, via an assumption of their
standard presence, my work in general considers implied fields of stress. The work strategically explores these implications through conflicting pairings, such as the following:
critique and a contrasting optimism about images loss of information (entropy) and
potential meaning calculatio(n) and empathy.
