Floor Difference (Bodendifferenz), 2005<br />
False floor, airat<strong>in</strong>g pipe, cable, 40 x 460 x 360 cm, ed. 3<br />
»‘Can one make works that are not <strong>art</strong>?’, Duchamp asked <strong>in</strong> a work-related note <strong>in</strong><br />
1913. This question is substantial for my work. I am thus <strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong> objects and<br />
structures that can be found <strong>in</strong> today’s construction and urban processes. Usually<br />
materials are used which show less autonomy, metaphorical potential and thus less<br />
sculptural character than the classical ready-mades (Duchamp, Warhol). Like any<br />
architectural model Floor Difference implies an unf<strong>in</strong>ished state between the idea<br />
and the real, f<strong>in</strong>ished construction. The aspect of a cross-section from the complete<br />
structure is the authentic act <strong>in</strong> my work; it enables a certa<strong>in</strong> level of abstraction (a<br />
parallel to works of M<strong>in</strong>imal Art). This abstraction has the same orig<strong>in</strong> like the prototypical<br />
nature of such a pattern, which is visually firmly anchored <strong>in</strong> today’s world.<br />
Floor Difference is an object which contrasts with other works <strong>in</strong> the room given its<br />
