WAS IST DIESE ARBEIT? (What Is This Work?)

An installation of three charred cabinets. In each interior a film is projected, Wood, Words and Wool, with the sound and smell of fire burning. They show endless cycles of futile labour. The title references the statement written above the entrance to Auschwitz concentration camp, ARBEIT MACHT FREI, and Freud’s theory of träume Arbeit. (dream work)
