Marche Funèbre 2013, 06:31
Moths flew into my studio following the light of a video projector in the Wiepersdorf countryside. They were eaten by spiders. As I was cleaning the floor and throwing the corpses out, I noticed one start to move on its own against the wind. When I looked down, I saw an ant carrying the body of a moth back to the lawn at the edge of the woods, whence it had come. The soundtrack consists of local soundscapes, such as birdsong and the footsteps of a colony of ants on dry leaves, accompanied by piano notes?

Hello Everybody 2017, 8:14
Greetings from near and far, from us to you. Welcome to everyone across distances and across time. You are welcome! Although greeting is very culture and situation specific, it is used in all known human cultures. The greetings that make up the narrative of Hello Everybody take our familiar ritual one step further.
Hello Everybody is based on the greetings recorded on the recordings sent into space with the Voyager 1 & 2 probes. The recordings are intended for all extraterrestrial life, or perhaps for future humans who may find it.
