]]> When I moved into my studio in 2019 I was told that the building, probably from the 60ies in an industrial area of Hamburg and had once been a custom office, would be torn down soon to build a new living and shopping area. The room itself was small, squared and had a kind of platform at the two windows where I imagine the clerk sitting at their desk. The floor was a yellowish-brown linoleum and apart from that the room was empty when I moved in. In this dusty and frumpy atmosphere, I noticed little traces in the room, leftovers, stories from whom might have worked here. Scratches along the wall, probably from an office chair scrubbing. Holes from nails, at some places still screws in the wall. Crumbling plaster at the ceiling. This was the starting point of the series Office Figures. I started to fill the space with geometric shapes, stellar constellations, softened corners – and continued until I had to move out the following year. All materials used for these interventions in the room are discarded and found objects.

]]> shelter, a short English word with multiple ramifications. It evokes the hermit, the poet, the refugee, the homeless person, the destitute, the domestic or wild animal passing by, the wanderer as much as the metaphor, the urgency, the necessity: to inhabit / to think – to join and meet / to share – to transport? to move? to hide? to
(re)settle? … to play?
Through images and text, shelter explores and declines fundamental questions – rhizomes and rebounds -: what are we building? for whom? why? who do we protect? from what? how? what is a shelter? a ladder? A scale? – a shell? a value? a temporality? – who lives where? how? why? with whom? what does this shelter, do these ladders, and scales, mean to you, us, them? To me? Could Memory (or love?) be the ultimate shelter(s)?
