Installation project “Hope / Hoffnung”: Exploration of Borders in Germany

"The figures of a bear family, consisting of wood, wire, and rubber-foam, were used in the setting of public parks, sidewalks, open construction sites, or hidden spots, such as rooftops. Here, the unsuspecting crowd of viewers, such as joggers, families, taking a walk or bicycle riders, were confronted out of the blue with the ever-present borders in our everyday life: Walls, fences, rivers, etc. with the innocent refugee family trying to overcome those. In this project, I liked the mechanism of the viewers’ exposure to my art, much like refugees, who can be encountered in countless random situations. The viewers reactions to this encounter were their participation in my work and gave the opportunity to investigate the meaning of borders in Germany - a country that was separated by walls for many decades. The many locations of this temporary installation let many small stories of the hardship and difficulties of the archetype refugee unfold."
