...I Was here
(Diploma Exhibition 2017, Akademie der Bildenden Kunste, Munich)
This is an intimate installation which I intended as a reaction to the moment of leaving. Somewhere inside me is stored all that I have lived, everything that happened. I can't touch this but it's there. More I try to define it, more I loose it. These are the ephemeral moments, imprinted into the fragility of this point in life full of doubts and uncertainty.
With this installation I want to take you on a walk, when in one moment you are losing the past, losing sureness and in this same moment, the present appears. It is not possible to catch that moment between, but we are experiencing it all the time if we become aware of it.
What fascinates me about the actual act of writing on the wall “I was here” is its connection to the past which it refers to while the act of writing is happening now and creating a bridge with the future hope. It is this moment of honesty with oneself, when I want to reflect, when I want to acknowledge, when I want to for the last time connect with the person who “was here”.
