When I started the project, I hoped to find something essential. The sieving process should lead me to a very worthy matter. After a while it appeared clearly that it is not possible to sieve mountains. What we find is not the essential left over after sieving process, but just a new construction and creation we form. All we can do is to set the limits.

The exhibition consists of three parts:

• The first part is called “splitted images” and shows collages and drawings.

It is formed through an individual selection of everyday pictures from science and politics transformed in hybrid collages. ( ground and first floor)

• The second is called “second skin” and shows sculptures presenting two possible forms of organization. A very compact and closed one in contrast to a more permeable devoured one.( ground and first floor)

• The final part is called “images without sound” and shows installation with taped collages and sculpture. Mountains of everyday fotos and informations lead to a visual language which refuses to focuse clear messages. ( ground floor)
