moll, Constance 2011
1000m2 of paper, seven times the floor space of the exhibition room, have been glued together to form a single surface and crumpled, creased and pressed into a bale measuring 160 x 180 x 70 cm in days of manual labor. During the performance, I cut the white cords that hold them together and separate the paper masses from each other again, carefully spread them out in the room by pulling them, or I put my whole body between them, crawl underneath them and let them rise into the air. The folds give the 80-gram writing paper stability. The sculpture created for the vernissage fills the large skylight room for the duration of the exhibition. It is geological and glaciological, world-creating and painterly.
Duration of the performance: 40 min.
