EIN-UM-AUS
The installation EIN-UM-AUS is a constellation of a sculpture (symbiosis of a streetlamp and a birch tree) and a source of ambient energy (solar structure). The compartments are located in the GREENhaus,
a garden, which is a communal garden project I have started with other students at Chelsea College of Arts.
The work intends to explore multiple perspectives and parts that are connected through invisible energy.

EIN-UM-AUS is German and has multiple meanings.
The literal translation can be either ON-AROUND-OFF (energy) or IN-AROUND-OUT (perspective).
In both ways, it describes the ambient energy that surrounds/flows through us at all times, on all scales, that turns into visible energy. I
ts transformation to electrical light feeds the sculpture with life/light and enables us to look inside.
Depending on the sun, the light is on, around, or off.
Depending on the light we look in, around or out.
