Die Verwebung der Zeit. 1014-0619 represents a space-based performance. First, all months from Oct. 2014 to June 2019 are recorded according to the notation principle defined in the Verzeichnung der Zeit. This timeframe corresponds to the period of study at the University of applied Arts, where the performance also takes place. Subsequently, significant points in time are connected by coloured strings, such as study travel and a semester abroad.
For the notation of the months and for the threads, a colour coding is chosen that can be associated emotionally with the respective time period. In this way, an ever denser network is created, which graphically and spatially records the time at the university. Finally, the time net sleeve is wrapped in a kind of cocoon. The throwing off after a tour through the building metaphorically stands for the preparation for a new phase of life.
