A black-and-white video still by the artist VALIE EXPORT. The artist looks into the camera and forms a sign with her hands. It is the sign for the letter “n” in the two-handed finger alphabet. However, she likely intended to represent the letter “m.”

FOLDS (In tape fields)

Multi-sited sound installation

At a construction site, the pavement has been extensivly broken up. Several people in high-visibility clothing are working among piles of rubble. On the left, an excavator arm moves heavy pieces of concrete; further back, someone operates a mini excavator with a jackhammer. On the right, a person near a building wall leans on a shovel. Vehicles and safety barriers frame the scene on the street. At the bottom, there is a caption that says “...yes/no?...” with white font against black background.

Deafening Silence

Videos with artistic captions on roadside screens

A surreal collage featuring the singer Hermoine Zittlau. Against violet-beige wallpaper, she is dressed as a queen in an extravagant red-gold dress and an ermine coat. To the left is a small window; to the right, the sign language poet Gunter Trube appears as her royal advisor. His positioning and pose make him seem slightly detached from the space. On the bottom left corner, part of a face can be seen with open mouth. Superimposed onto the image is the subtitle: “Her Majesty should listen in disguise.”

The Fall of a Queen, or The Taste of the Fruit to Come

Video opera at Storage Museum with artistic captions by Carefuffle

A group of twelve young people stands side by side in a bright, minimalist room. Behind them is a large window through which daylight streams in; the upper part of the window is softly blurred. The people are wearing everyday clothes and assume various postures, some with their arms stretched upward, others with their hands clasped.

Untitled (background activity)

Two motifs are overlaid onto one another. The more dominant motif is a view from above of the artist’s black leather shoe, furnished with a microphone, as he walks across the asphalt. His pale pant leg is also partially visible. Slightly less visible is the overlaid, transparent image of Black children sitting in a shopping trolley as they roll playfully through the streets of Harlem, New York.
