Installations at four different places in Europe

1. Barn / Lejre, Denmark: small fire There will be a small artifical (camp) fire installed on the floor of the barn in Lejre/Denmark. The sculpture is made out of wooden logs, painted and spread over a black and a red flat circle (polythene) which lay on top of each other. It will be placed fitting to the individual shape and the conditions of the barn. The fire adds a symbolic heating to the space which allows only to shelter from weather.

2. Garden / Selfoss, Island: tarpaulines, fundaments Two tarpaulines (blue and green) are stretched with metal nails and fixed on the ground with stones like tends in the widespread garden in Selfoss. They define a transistoric space as carpets do in a flat.There is also a sort of distinct area, marked with safety bend around a kind of secret space. And there is the beginning of a fundament: that«s a piece of the lawn which is carefully taken off from the soil in a rectangular shape to signify a new building to come.

3. Kitchen / Bremen,Germany: silver stock sculpture Many potatoes, apples and a few lemons are each wrapped in aluminium foile and put together as a silver pile which is placed on the kitchen«s main table.
