Performative Installation,
Galerie Oqbo, Berlin 2009

The Performance in gallery oqbo was part of the project “Schachteldenken”. For a short period of time, the gallery was turned into the office of ‘Schachteldenken’, where gray-suited staff performed their bureaucracy. Visitors were invited to come, bring an object and have it packaged. After taking a reference number, visitors were asked to wait in the waiting room and fill out a form about the object. The questions in the form made one think not only about the object, but also about objects in general. Our daily objects are not only beautiful or practical, they have more qualities than one would think...
By having it packaged, the real object became invisible, so people had to rely on their memory of it. Through its absence one became more aware of the object.

The performance was the final presentation for the Masters course ‘Raumstrategien’ (“Space strategies”).
