At the interface of art, physics and philosophy, I transform familiar things, e.g. household objects, maps and measuring instruments into metaphors. The Installation „Fluten (Floods)“ alludes to water, but the title can also be understood in the context of !ooding something with light: A deep black latex circle, perforated and pitted at the edge, turns out to be a physical map of the light pollution of the Arctic Circle. While alignment rods are arranged as a playful mikado of dazzling light spots. Surveying with rods is at the beginning of every land use: We are facing times where light pollution constantly increases in the arctic night, in correlation with the warming of the permafrost ground. The measurement of the world is based on agreement and it is up to us to accept or not to accept the tools for it, or rather to find a completely different use.
