2018 | 40 Scherdel Edelhell, selfies, chat screenshots
20 artists were invited by Anna Schütten for a show. As I could not be physically present for the set-up I left a crate of beer from my home town at her place in advance and took one with me to my residency place at that time. During the set-up I asked my fellow artists to open a beer, take a selfie, send it to me and I will do the same at my place.
2017 | 2 flippers consisting of 5 people each, director, passers-by | riverside Seine, Paris (FR)
By hand signs I open and close the flipper. That caused a new organization in the stream of the people passing by.
The flippers are Lisa Mühleisen, Rotem Gerstel, Laetitia Striffling, Sara Gianguzza, Julia Wirsching, Riki Werdenigg, Simone Etter, Neus Estarellas Calderón, Jacopo Salvatori and Sascha Brosamer. Video: Eden Sarna. Thank you all!

2012 | Volvo V70, snow
AFFA introduces new rules and turns around the ways of moving.
The artist takes off in her own driveway, runs her car accross the street to the neighbour´s garage, backs up in the street and again into her own driveway. She stops at the point of departure, where the Volvo can be seen in the picture.
The snow is compressed by the weight of the car; it is condensed by the artist´s action, and a linear drawing evolves.
The action is continued, as Sophie Innmann removes snow.
With a shovel, she erases the loose snow next to the compressed snow, establishing a drawing in her driveway, the sidewalk and the neighbour`s driveway.
In a reversion of the original compaction process, a “negative” is created.
AFFA is based on an observation: when cars drive on snow, the snow usually disappears where the tires touch the ground but it stays everywhere else.
AFFA uncovers another possibility and reveals a new visual space.
