I will create the ideas and plans for a threedimensional sculpture with the means and media listed above. My focus will be on questions relating to my comprehension and self-sensation of the female body in real and mediatized space, possibly drawing upon parts of the classic feminist / post-feminist theories relating to this area of reflection.
Such sensitivity seldomly accompanies programmers while they plan their projects and envision future developments. Hence I will also be interested to participate in discussions of Mr. McCarthy and Phillipp Teister (Artistic Research Team organized by transforming freedom) whom I know well from recent collaborations. I am, of course, highly interested in their subject matter, yet as an artist, these forms of abstraction are inherently problematic to translate diligently. Not to slow them down, but to possibly
interact, contradict and build documentation of personal aspects of this experimental process in form of a sculpture.
