I am German. I am female. What is there to 'state' with or about art? What is there to manifest? Art is a personal, in my case multi-disciplinary, performative, idiosyncratic strategy to uncover what is unknown to me, to explain to myself what is going on in this world, to find out about how and which things are connected. Each project is different, I start with a sea of open questions and ideas and a priori am hesitant to state a thing. Except one: without generosity, art is pointless.
