This is the archive of documented work, from most recent back to 2002.
As most of these things are time-based, would you take note of the videos.
For a short portfolio, a quick overview, please see “7 Selected”.
I am doing another exhibition with Birgit Rüberg for the week of open studios in cologne. We are showing the “Eumetazoa Crepusculum Lucere” again as well as new works from the past year.
Open Fr. 24.10. 17-21 Uhr, Sa. 25.10. 17-21 Uhr, So. 26.10. 17-21 Uhr
Adress: Atelier Birgit Rueberg, Krieler Strasse 109, 50935 Köln
Link to the official site: Offenes Atelier Birgit Rüberg
This Work is based on the limitations of the human visual perceptive system. The primary colors red, green and blue are flashing up to illuminate the room with more than 100 flashes per second. The human perception is mixing these colors into white, but as the strobes aren’t synchronized, there are moments of a destinct color visible in the room.
Shown again during Quadrienale 2010, Düsseldorf: Below Zero
Shown again 2011 in Kobe, Japan: Reflexionen
I was out, showing a version of “Restore Order And Chaos” at the “Backup Festival”, Bauhaus Universität Weimar. Sorry, i only have this not-so-good picture.
Each element of the animated graphic represents a software agent running a simulation of a fish swarm. The software is based on scientific research, and was modified to control the animation of stripes, since they don’t behave like fish, or simulated fish.

Exhibition with Birgit Rüberg at “Zündorfer Wehrturm” in Cologne.
Please watch the following clip.

Light Installation, together with Birgit Rüberg (birgit-rueberg.de).
The installation consists of many different “living creatures” made of a thin japanese paper, in which there are five LEDs in red, green, blue, orange and white. They are controlled by a atmel microprocessor, with individual software on every chip.
Depending on what light signal they send out, one can observe four different states: eating, playing, sleeping and reproduction. You can find more information (in german) in the catalogue of the exhibiton.
Two horizontal parallax holograms of 2007.

This is a video installation, where i myself go out of my on the wall painted house to give my also on the wall painted flower some water with my ewer. Show at Altitude 2007, KHM Cologne
200 Frames is a holographic work that explores the interplay between space, time, and perception. Composed of 200 images embedded into a stereogram hologram, the piece unfolds as the viewer moves along the horizontal axis. A golden picture frame—literal, yet anchoring—remains a constant, shifting naturally with the viewer’s perspective. Behind it, bursts of fireworks bloom and dissolve in unexpected rhythms.
The fireworks, vivid against a black void, behave in ways that defy linear time—sometimes moving forward, sometimes reversing—creating a visual logic all their own. This manipulation of time, layered with shifting space, transforms a simple act of viewing into something more physical and performative. As one friend described it, engaging with the work becomes a kind of dance: “the holo shuffle.”
The piece was born out of a desire to embrace holography not just as a medium, but as a language—to let it speak in ways only it can. In 200 Frames, space and time are not just represented, they are experienced, entangled in a single act of looking. The result is something between memory and moment, presence and illusion—a quiet invitation to move, to watch, and to wonder.
The Hologram is now part of the Jonathan Ross Collection.
This photo, taken in Havana, Cuba, with a Lomo Camera, is printed onto glass and lit up from behind using special masks and filters. The contrast within the picture as much higher than in a regular copy or lightbox.
The work changes in perception during the day due to the difference between room- and interiour light.
Two little pieces for the 5zu1 project at KHM,
works by students can be seen on a big public screen at Rudolfplatz, Köln.
