Execution Box

Mixed media installation at shortlist exhibition of Columbus Art Sponsorship Project 2008, Columbus Art Foundation, HALLE 14 at Spinnerei Leipzig, Germany, September 5th - October 26th, 2008, 700 x 350 x 200 cm

The installation Execution Box formally relates to public parking slots where prostitutes and their customers can have undisturbed sex inside of a car.
Inside the exhibition space, I constructed a set of 4 Boxes, each containing a special scene. Box 1 has an art space socket with a nervous disco light effect on it. The ground is covered with a dirty carpet taken from the Computer Games Fair 2008 in Leipzig.
Box 2 is filled with well preserved building materials taken from the Computer Games Fairs waste container. (Thus I’m abusing the exhibition ground as a private storing space for materials I might have use for someday.) Box 3 contains a condom automat and an emergency stop button to turn off the disco light in Box 1 temporarily.
Box 4 shows a battered lectern surrounded by grey walls. Out of the lectern comes a monotonous computer voice, ironically commenting all the other art works of this exhibition in audio guide style.
