VAG 97.30.1-4 VAG 97.31.1-6 VAG 96.11.1 a-b


This installation is variable, pieces do not have to be exhibited together. The photographs included depict the installation for Recollect, Oct. 99. and for the exhibit called This Place, 2002/03. The briefcases can be aesthetically arranged according to curatorial decision — including directly on the floor, or as in the 2003 photos, on a low round plinth in a circular arrangement. The corresponding rattle has a plexi stand, but can be, as in the latter photos, exhibited directly on the plinth surface, but not directly on ground.
