Exactly 10 years ago the title of my solo show was: RUN - TAKE one SQUARE or two. The intended association was naturally with the Velvet Underground song „Run Run Run “(take one drag or two): the sound of the video installation included this song mixed/deconstructed with „Running Dry“by Neil Young and acoustically slashed by an endless-C-note from Bruce Nauman’s „Playing a Note on the Violin while I Walk Around the Studio“…although he didn’t know how to play violin and he was walking not running…
Three nine-metre-high letters RUN which seem all of polished stainless steel during the daytime reveal the mirrored illuminated depths of their faces as evening begins. A glowing necklace of internal convex mirrors and LED lighting convey the impression of a deep night-club interior.
