THE BEAUTY OF FAILURE, 2019, MIXED MEDIA INSTALLATION, VARIABLE SIZE

Planned as a sculptural large-scale painting, the work did not turn out as planned. I had experimented with many forms and folding techniques during my "Rausch" themed residency for Begehungen art festival in Chemnitz. The work should be an inverting garland which could be collapsed into relatively flat layers of squares. I had it all thought through, did models, test foldings, painted dummies. Then I painted 1000 x 140 cm of my material - from both sides, before I did a test folding in real size. 

The installation tells the story of my failure- with screenshots taken from my real time Instagramstory and printed on Aludibond and the painted material shown as an exhibit accompanying the story.
