Army Of Surfaces

Staged photography, smell samples, 2016

 

Similar to the facades of the houses, which have been repaired again and again second-hand clothes were separated and the material was used to sew new clothes corresponding to the architecture.

Facade of the European Artist House, Schafhof, Freising / Germany, 2016

The smell samples were painted within the coloured circles and could be scratched off to experience the smell. All smells had a base note of dill, a good smelling facade and a less pleasant odor in the background.

A warm, round clean smell

with old fat and moist waste.

Incense, pigeon droppings,

damp grass, wet paint.

Sea breeze, depth of space,

dust and mustiness, gunfire.
