Diving Through Realities. The terms of reality and fiction mix up and sometimes reality blurs with fiction. The visitor doesn't know which objects are ''real'' and which ones are ''fictive''.
Artist statement (interview with Andrea Schrammel, ACFDC, Washington):
"(…) I always try to be aware of the space. Consequently I develop and adjust my shows to the available space. I try to connect with the site, so to speak: I work site-specific. It’s not as if you enter an exhibition space and are suddenly aware of the fact that you’re in an art-show... but… you enter a room and then you start to discover and to read the objects and artworks and things you see and you start to understand the story and the content. The terms of reality and fiction mix up and sometimes reality blurs with fiction. The visitor doesn’t know which objects are ‘real’ and which ones are ‘fictive’… e.g the ‘ODERFLA Mouthwash’; you are unable to recognize whether it is real or invented. And that is exactly the question I am interested in. I like to leave the visitor in doubt of what is art(ificial) and what is real.
Furthermore, I like to give the visitor the possibility to become involved and discover my artwork by e.g. pressing a button of a telephone answering machine, opening a door into another room or reading a private diary."
