I spent the last week at Marianstrasse 2 painting the room black and preparing the room for the installation. The room is not heated and it is freezing cold at night. I am working alone for hours at a time and I'm able to spend a lot of time thinking about the direction of this piece. The room and entire floor of this building is dark and a bit creepy - as I paint over the various layers of paint and sweep out the dirt and trash I get a sense of the past lives and activities that must have taken place here. My overall idea has changed several times and I've started to focus on particular subtle changes I would like to make to the room aside from turning it all black. | I spent the last week at Marianstrasse 2 painting the room black and preparing the room for the installation.

The room will be closed off to the public and only viewable thru a broken window in the doorway. Inside is a 3D scene which is obviously aestheticized but also referencing several aspects from my research and mashing them into each other - pieces of George Grosz studio are mixing | The room will be closed off to the public and only viewable thru a broken window in the doorway. Inside is a 3D scene which is obviously aestheticized but also referencing several aspects from my research and mashing them into each other - pieces of George Grosz studio are mixing into my own Lustmord "painting" which I am bringing to life in the form of a still life. Furthermore I am adding elements of light and electricity referencing the future or current times - also this is a reference to futurism and science fiction as predicted in films such as Metropolis. | ||
