The Ting Ting Jahe - One of the hottest products for the next century
2019, Installation with five iPads looping five videos (ca 20 minutes of video material in total), headphones, cabinet, fake flowers, microscope, wig, lucky cat, perfume bottle, lipstick, crushed porcelain and other found objects, books, flowers in jelly, grease head, 1,5 x 1,5 x 0,5 m
Here you can look at excerpts from all 5 videos occuring in the installation:
In this sensual Wunderkammer five iPads show five partly conflicting stories. One video has a voice over of a girl that tells us how the false dichotomy of subject and object made her turn away from the world to incarnate the cabinet. Another video's data configured voice over tells us the locker is a reconstruction of a common altarpiece dated to Anthropocene, and continues with a guide through its objects from a playful alien perspective. A third video is an inventory of all objects in the cabinet, a forth shows a 3d animation of some of these objects melting, and the last video shows the objects observed through a microscope.
Installation view and details from the group show OPGOER, Charlottenburg Konsthall, 2020
