Workstation Sisyphus
variations
2013
Workstation Sisyphus is a
mixed media room installation in variable dimensions, consisting of laptop computer(s) (showing drawings and caricatures of the human folly as
slide shows) as well as cushion(s), clothes, shoes, books, stones, flowers etc. and
“time sheets”, which are unwanted drawings, paintings, prints, sketches, notes,
flyers, form-letters, texts, everything ready to be torn up and thrown away, or
anything considered not being a “finished” art-piece in the 8,5 x 11 inches
paper format; anything that could be recycled, reused, reworked and
re-contextualized.
Workstation Sisyphus
explores the eternal concept of up hill rock-pushing as a symbol for the
absurdity of human life. The “time sheets” used for this project symbolize the
creative process as a repetitive doing, a constant up and down to make
something meaningful; art as means of finding meaning within meaninglessness.
