During my work scholarship at Atelier Mondial in Berlin, I happened to come across an eraser with a portrait of Goethe in the souvenir section of a bookshop. Back in the studio, I created the intervention "Etching (Goethe)", in which the portrait was meticulously etched out of the Berlin studio floor for several hours in the style of Tischbein and Andy Warhol, or, to put it another way, Johann Wolfgang Goethe virtually etched himself out of the floor.
A video camera was mounted on the ceiling to record the performance, which lasted more than 2 hours. The video was then edited and the speed was extremely increased so that the black figure mutated into a creature somewhere between animal and human.
The video has now been edited and turned into an independent video work (see website)
