– Heute denken, morgen fertig –
Inspired by Martin Kippenberger’s bold statement ‘Heute denken, morgen fertig’ (‘Think Today, Done Tomorrow’) from 1983, I began a new series informed by his directness, humor, and transformative spirit. The series is the result of a thought experiment: a daily sequence of black-and-white works that are created quickly, intuitively, and without unnecessary hesitation. Choosing black and white is a deliberate way to sharpen focus and form. At the same time, it refers to something more personal: the world of magic I discovered as a child, the magician’s wand and magic set where the impossible briefly became tangible. Simplicity becomes the strategy, and making becomes a daily ritual. Each work grows from a single idea. Concept takes center stage, while the boundary between illusion and action begins to blur. This rhythm is rooted in a simple belief: ideas do not always need time to mature. Sometimes thinking and making are simply two sides of the same coin. ‘Heute denken, morgen fertig’ is therefore not only a title, but also a way of working. The following works emerged from this approach. They are mostly constructed from everyday objects that surround me, things that at first glance appear ordinary, but within a different context acquire a new, sometimes magical presence. The works combine a variety of media and materials, including metal, plastic, wood, and other commonplace objects drawn from everyday life.
