7 days head­wind

2022

The work is a reap­praisal of an 800km bicy­cle trip from the sum­mer of 2022. It was my first trip of this kind and it chal­lenged me phys­i­cal­ly and men­tal­ly. The men­tal part is what this work is about. By means of a net on which strips of plas­tic film are attached, the monot­o­ny of the corn­fields that accom­pa­nied me almost the whole way is to be rep­re­sent­ed. Frag­men­tary video sequences cre­at­ed on the jour­ney are pro­ject­ed onto this net in a loop. Fans cre­ate the head­wind and make the stripes “dance”. This wind is the core ele­ment of the work. It was my adver­sary for 7 days. The dura­tion of this con­fronta­tion with the ele­ments of nature and my thoughts was gru­el­ing: At the first moment, the work is sup­posed to have a cer­tain beau­ty, but it dis­solves the longer you stay in it. This beau­ty is more and more destroyed by the monot­o­ny of the videos and the con­stant wind.
