The series Mondvogel is named after a moth which is able to blur the lines between animal and plant via the use of a stunning mimikry. Using the same logic the ceramic sculptures contained in this body of work hide their real inside. The archaic materiality is hidden and the Mondvogel rather evokes an impression of being of futuristic and technological origin.
The spaceship-like objects combine an earthly belonging with the childish-naive pursuit of the skies, intergalactic travel and the need for escaping a potentially “dying” planet. Meanwhile the dissolution of a supposedly existing border between organic and anorganic is immanent.
