Transit für sechs Körperteilen
2000-2001, 240 × 240 × H. 220 cm, 50 × 30 × H. 40 cm (Bag 01, Bag 02, Bag 03, Bag 04, Bag 05, Bag 06), Mixed media (wood, resin, silicon, audio)
The project started from a slight hope to travel to Japan by a few German artists, whom I met at the benigging of my study in Germany. It seemed that it could make the sense in doing so, not only for German artists, but also for my work along with the topic 'location and dislocation'. For that purpose we planned exchange-exhibitions as German side including Christian Megert; artists around Kunstakademie at the time; and me; together with artists / professors in Nagoya, Japan.
Transport 1 (Bag 01-06): travel together with 18 artists (from DE, CH, JP) for one month, Düsseldorf, Germany ー Nagoya, Japan
Transport 2 (Bag 01-06): together with 35 artists (18 guests from Japan to Germany) for approximately two weeks, Nagoya, Japan ー Düsseldorf, Germany
