| As you can see from my notes one week ago my project continues to evolve and change. It's been a very inspired, synchronicity filled week for me which included several insightful conversations with classmates (Amel, Eleana and Kata) as well as some of the other artists in the exhibition at Marienstraße 2.
| | My project continues to evolve and change during the installation process. One of my biggest break through moments was when I decided to use a peep-hole as a way to view the installation. I was reading from George Grosz's autobiography and he wrote about looking thru peep-holes at carnivals as a child and how this inspired him to become an artist. I discovered a connection between my research subject, George Grosz, the theme of Lustmord and the medium of the peep-hole as a way to explore these themes in an architectural 3D format. |

| One of my biggest break through moments was when I decided to use a peep-hole after a conversation with Eleana in her studio - and later that same evening I was reading from George Grosz's autobiography and he wrote about looking thru peep-holes at carnivals as a child and how this inspired him to become an artist. In this moment of synchronicity I had pieced together an interesting connection between my research subject, George Grosz, the theme of Lustmord and the medium of the peep-hole as a way to explore these themes in an architectural 3D format. | |

| Another moment of discovery occurred when I was moving the full body mirror around inside the room with the help of Amel. At some point it was rather close to the door and when I looked thru the peep-hole I saw the mirror with no reflection of myself even though I was facing the mirror! The feeling was quite surreal to see the doorway in the mirror but not to see myself. All of a sudden I felt transported into some alternate dimension thru this hole in the door. I could imagine a ghost of myself sitting in this empty chair in front of the mirror.
