Installation
Stelen (Columns)
2007-2009
An inquiry into history, desire, and power, Stelen (Columns) is a photo installation comprised of appropriated images found on the Internet. The images are connected by the prominence of the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin – a structure composed of 2,711 concrete columns of various heights.
By employing seriality via the presence of the memorial, the installation examines a space where desire is least expected to surface. If, as Eva Hesse famously suggested, that “series, serial, serial art, is another way of repeating absurdity,” the installation thus investigates the tension between longing, death and eroticism while calling into question the in/ability to memorialize.
