Statement
"The human personality seems to me layered like an onion, from the infinitely divisible to the infinitely expanded with no defined end in all directions. The ‘I’ as putatively static core emerges as illusion, as a further microcosm in a further macrocosm. Our personality is therefore to be understood as a process which takes place in the correspondence of outer and inner, in the tension between the layers.
The processuality of the ‘Spectrum’ heads lies in the movement of the viewer: the circumambulation brings it to life. Time becomes apparent to us in movement or change only. The resin head does not move by itself. But everything changes when the viewer moves around it and thereby transfers its time to it. The moving inner life of the head bases on the processuality of the viewer – we create time.
The heads face is build out with air bubbles and pigments, it symbolises the transience and fragility of our ‘floating’ personality.
The ‘Spectrum’ holds a paradox itself with a supposed transparency and a ‘letting slip off thought’ closeness".
