In the performance "Monolith" the artist stands on a small mountain of earth in front of a monolith about 2 meters in size. She begins to clean the block until a mirror surface appears behind the black layer of earth.The idea was inspired by the film Odyssee 2001, in which suddenly ideally formed monolithic blocks appear near the planet Jupiter. The block is a symbol of perfection and the divine in which a human being is reflected.
The artist starts with this thought and gives the block the property of mirroring and thus serving in a visual sense as mirror of self-knowledge. The aim is to free the block from the earth, so that the mirror becomes visible from all sides.
