PAPERROLLE

2017 – Now: PAPER ROLLS

THE PAPEROLLES were part of the exhibition Zimmerecke, 2020 at the Villa Flora, Winterthur, Switzerland.

These are drawings from my notebooks that are then scanned and transferred onto long strips of paper that I call Paperolles when they are not folded. Paperolles echo 35mm film.

PORTO ALEGRE
I went to Porto Alegre in Brazil for an artist’s residency in 2017. Invited by the Goethe Institute, I presented my film This Photographer is called Leonore Mau there.
During this time, I looked back at my artistic output over the past 30 years by mentally projecting it onto the white walls of the residence. Seven double pages drawn and written with a fine Japanese felt-tip pen in black ink. The drawings and writings are so intertwined that the (almost automatic) writing from bottom to top and right to left is sometimes illegible. Only a few words or quotations from artists and philosophers stand out. 

BATHROOMS and BEDROOMS

From 2017 to 2020 there was a series of elementary locations that I occupied for the duration of one or two films: BATHROOMS and BEDROOMS. Upright, held by a coloured cotton thread to a sheet of birch veneer, folded at right angles, they were presented on a grand piano as part of the exhibition ZIMMERECKEN exhibition at the Villa Flora in Winterthur, Switzerland, in 2020.
