Spiegelung
(2008)



There is a large roll of white paper hanging on the wall and a chair in front of it. I stand on the chair and open two large black pens. I start writing in Arabic script with both hands at the same time. I write from right to left with my right hand and from left to right with my left hand in mirror writing. I quote Nietzsche:
"Orient and Occident are chalk lines that someone draws in front of our eyes to fool our timidity."
