4-channel video installation, DVD 20', without sound, 1997 Various geometric shapes are pushed into the picture on four monitors and then moved out again after a pause. In a choreography of cubes and cuboids, with changing rhythms, slow and fast sequences, different image compositions are created that stop, change and are discarded again. The endless loop denies the decision to create a finished work and the assertion of a "good composition" is called into question. By constantly redesigning and discarding images in a comparatively laborious manner, the work breaks with the formal aesthetics to which it is oriented.
