Waffenwerkstatt

2016 Interactive installation

Wooden hut, building materials, tools

350 x 600 x 400 cm

The first objects I built as a child were weapons. In addition to bows and arrows, particularly technical weapons such as pea tubes and rubber revolvers were also created. In the room installation, the feature of exchanging craft tips in a building hut was related to the weapons theme. During the exhibition, the builders' hut was an open workshop where childhood weapons could be made. The question of the cause of children's need to deal with weapons and the resulting rejection of many adults were my central project motivation.
