Concept
A wardrobe stands in the center the Performance. It is taken from my house and is set up here in the exhibition place. The overcrowded wardrobe is equipped with shirts, T-shirts, pants and dresses. Everything is what in it, is unpacked and is arranged on the ground(bottom). Now are drawn of the row after all garments on top of each other, since nothing more lies on the ground(bottom). The parts have an effect finally on my body like a garment bag or patotoe sack. I take over (transformation) with it the function of the wardrobe and i am the wardrobe, because I carry all garments. Aim the Performance is to be reshaped it to the body to the paragon of a Kulturmonomentes. The alive body with all garments should be translated in the language of the art by this perspective change in a shapeless fossilized culture-statue. In a further sense should be pointed out the consumption which is demonstrated with the overabundance of dresses. The culture-ballast which is symbolized by the a lots of dresses, has an effect on the body like a movement-hindering weight. Which possibilities the person has now still to free himself from this situation?
