At my diploma exhibition, I showed drawings with which I tried to visualise time. After the show, I packed up my paperworks and stacked them in packages. This is when I realised that painting and drawing would never allow me to solve the question of visualising time. So, I developed the idea of Der Stapel, turning to the medium of sculpture. Since then I have been layering all of my work in one grand stack, which is only divided into individual sculptures limited by my body height for statical reasons. With my smartphone I document the creation of the sculptures with photographs. These are made publicly available on my website and associatively visualise the production of the sculptures and my respective living conditions. I will continue this project until my death.
