«The fictional landscapes are mental topographies, both strange and familiar, which can be reoccupied - even if they still retain their political and postcolonial relationships due to the highly charged patterns employed.« (Eva Scharrer)
Meters behind sea level defines a fictional space comparable to the myth of the sunken city of Atlantis, whose physical disappearance has made room for its resurrection in fiction. The space is defined by images whose model character denies the viewer the possibility of an everyday interpretation and shorthand classification because what is visible does not readily correspond to what is expected. (Barbara Reber)
Meters behind sea level is a group of works in which I develop different formats based on military camouflage patterns, which are shown in an installative context.
Starting from military camouflage patterns of individual countries, I develop fictitious maps. In a multi-stage process, the reduced features of imitated flora and geology are given the characteristics of a cartographic representation.
