Take it for granted. Take it literary. Take it as you like. Like it or not. Like this or that. Like a pebble.

The Installation follow the flow scroll down and roll on as well as the literary work Die eher Rollenden are two pieces out of the series of works entitled Kiesel Kiesel Kiesel, whose can be understood individually as well as interlocking. Kiesel Kiesel Kiesel finds expression in the media of photography, moving image, performance, literature and installations. In this series, I seek analogies between pebbles and people. With the temporality of the counterpart diametrically opposed, creating an insurmountable paradox. In failure, however, lies a movement: a picking up, a pausing, a moving on, an editing, a dropping, a continuing, a repetition, like a rolling.
