These photographs of intermedial performances were taken in the installation Performative Elements, at my individual exhibition of the same title in Dorsten. The first two photographs were taken during the press conference, where I repeated the same pose with two different wigs. The third and fourth photographs were taken during the exhibition opening, where I received the Schulenburg-Stiftung art prize. The plinths ensured that all of the performers at the award ceremony met at eye-level. The press photos were published in newspapers over the following days. The respective pages from these newspapers bearing my signature were then framed and presented as a four-part edition opposite the installation.

In 2004, based on the fundamental element of communication, I developed an intermedial work in which my ex-apartment at Grosse Sperlgasse 39/15, 1020 Vienna, played a central role – on the one hand as bait, on the other as an exhibition space.
I advertised the 41m² as a ‘1A*** dream’ in the property section of a daily newspaper (Kurier), in a print publication for bargain hunters (Bazar) and on the bulletin board of a weekly paper (Falter). I communicated via email with the interested parties, and whenever they arrived in person for a viewing I showed them round my offer including the exhibition. Here I presented the installation Kleines Schwarzes (Small Black Dress) and 41m², a rubbing using lino-print colour and measuring 41m².
As a student at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts I also invited seminar leader Andreas Spiegl (media theory seminar) and fellow students to a talk in my apartment.
