Rinne is a pipeline, a channel between individual assertions and space. It forms the axis to Set up (pt.I) and its sources, which produce and reproduce themselves on the wall until existing categorizations fade in the shadow of reflection.

AXIS stretches thoughts and narratives to open up new realities.Set up for (pt.I) is a time-specific work that expands the space into a fictitious place by using transparent tape. Fountains and figures shift into a maw that opens up the view on possible realities. Sources produce and reproduce themselves on the wall until existing categorizations of value, ownership and belonging finally become fluid and fade again into the shadow of reflection. „The stories we tell can be used as prototypes for the worlds we want to build. It is our responsibility to construct these stories not just for ourselves but also for unknown futures. As long as they stay alive they can exist as possibilities for (…).“ Myths and Manifestos, Studio for propositional cinema, 2021.

Rinne questions the functionality of the space through the sculpture, perhaps more like an architectural approach; rather than defining the space, this sculpture aims to open it up. 6 geometric, moulded limestone blocks, reminiscent of industrial building materials, offer different possibilities of‚ use‘ waiting to be articulated. Like a melody, a composition, an articulation, is needed to unfold. Rinne is a pipeline, a transition, a channel between individual assertions and the space.

The work incorporates language as a visualisation of reflections and even concerns that are shared and confronted with the viewer. This approach, based on sculpture and traditional methods, explores the effect of written sentences on different surfaces and searches for new narratives. The creative process, using the body as an instrument of realisation, becomes a handwriting and ultimately a statement. Chiselled in stone or drawn on the wall, it oscillates between transience and eternity, visually or haptically.
