Observation Window

In my series I focus on situations that take place in my courtyard. There’s not much to see there, other than windows and concrete. Sometimes I get a little glimpse of what my neighbours’ apartments or my neighbours themselves would look like.
Mostly I have the feeling that I am surrounded by no one but myself. I rarely see any kind of human interaction and I rarely see people helping each other out. 
I see people carrying heavy things without the help of another person, I see people living their daily lives quietly on their own. 
The series is a mixture of things I’ve seen and things I‘ve staged. But whether I staged it or not, it always stays in the setting of one person dealing with day-to-day situations.

This series was created as part of the cooperative project "WIE WIR (NICHT) LEBEN" with Arbeiterkammer Vienna. 


As part of the eponymous urban exhibition, which was on view from June 26 to September 1, 2024, at various locations across Vienna, OBSERVATION WINDOW was presented in display cabinets at Volkertplatz 3 in 1020 Vienna.
