Painted cloud formations, found above my studio in Berlin of the last several years. Some recorded, some stored in the archive. Lets not be simple to confuse cloud painting and storytelling. Imagination is the one source, translation is the other. Towards each cloud, a small story will evolve. The first have been filed under the "uncanny”. How the series will unfold, cannot be predicted, but for sure it will be clouds recorded from above the studio space in Berlin, delivering poetic or prose like short stories towards each chapter. Clouds have a fleeting and ephemeral consistency, neither representing a subject. Their appearance taking any shape let them become the ideal projection of transit states. This work series does not dream of escapism, but after a content loaded work period, this interim work series provides calm and frenzy for an ambiguity of interpretations. Each cloud even seemingly bears its own personal time frame for truth and fiction.
