non-placeism

... I treat all aspects of a work with equal importance. The Canvas on which a picture is painted, the wall on which a work hangs color on a sculpture and the space in which it stands are materials are materials I work with. They influence each other bidirectionally - so they are only really finished when the exhibition has taken place. The situation is similar when it comes to finding a title. Like the painting ground is there mostly before the painting is there, a work can exist as a word before it even exists. It can also arise without any designation, the real one title then arises in conversation. ... Translation errors and changing Interpretation sovereignty feasts on the negotiability of reality. So it works also about what is written between the lines. From the so resulting misunderstandings and agreements. (Florian Witt)
