The installation work Sammlung Temporär Belegter Orte is created as part of a group exhibition dealing with swivel chairs.
The basis forms a table "Collection of temporarily occupied places (especially: seats) and their attributes". In this table, different types of seats are categorized and the average length of stay is estimated, including the attribute of the occupant.
Each category of the chart is assigned a specific color. In a ratio of 1 min length of stay corresponds to 1 cm tube length, the data are visualized in a circle and placed again on a seat-like surface of a swivel chair.
At first glance, the compilation represents a statistical survey, but is actually based on personal experience. The table is available as a handout in the exhibition.
In this way, the work interprets the topic ironically in a pseudo-analytical manner.
