Explores architectural ruin through strategies of demolition, preservation, conservation, reconstruction, interested in the strangeness of our contemporary landscapes and how we interact with them. Also working with the idea of cultural monuments being ‘removed and displaced all over the world’. (such as the relocation of Pergamon’s alter).
In this installation, 72,000 ‘Efes” bottles of beer have been transported from Turkey to Germany. The boxes of beer form the pyramid. By climbing the structure and drinking the beer the demolition has already been initiated.
“Along the lines of the gradual destruction of the sculpture the alcohol gradually dispels and destroys both body and mind. The physical hangover is also an architectural one, from which one has to recover.” – http://www.moussemagazine.it/blog/?p=10331
