Everything changed in spring 2020. The Covid 19 pandemic is forcing people around the world to withdraw, paralyzing public life in places and restricting social and professional freedom. The artist is also unable to complete her stay abroad as planned. She stays in Switzerland and reacts flexibly by turning the old plan into its opposite. Without further ado, she turns her apartment into a studio. The search in a foreign country gives way to a confrontation with the familiar, her own inner world, her personal thoughts, wishes, plans and conflicts. In doing so, she enters into a close dialog with her home and the things in it. Questions about the future, as they concern the collective in these uncertain times, arise, as do thoughts about her own person and art practice. For example, she poses the question of what happens when external influence ceases. What goes, what stays, what comes?
