„Canned...“
Installation mixed media, 2006
What dou you do with all the left feelings from your loves you had in your life? Where do you pack them away? What if you are a hunter-gatherers? You have to clean up, you have to clear your heart-space. Jam is durable because the fruits where picked, cleaned, reboild with lot of sugar and after where canned in air-tight mason jars. So has done the artist with her four big loves in her life in the installation „Canned...“. She finds for the feeling she had during her big relationships the fitting materials, reboils them and put them into mason jars. The last mason jar in line remains open and empty... The mason jars are exposed in a museal way, with identification plates with the names of the lovers and the duration of the relationships written on it.
With this installation, the artist exposed the museum of her heart.
