In „Where your arrival is postponed“ (2025) wird eine Straßenlaterne, einst Teil der öffentlichen Infrastruktur, in einen intimen und vieldeutigen Raum versetzt. Aus ihrem ursprünglichen Kontext herausgelöst, erfüllt sie keinen funktionalen Zweck mehr, sondern wird zu einem stillen Zeichen für Innehalten, Distanz und Warten. In Kombination mit einer Verkleidung aus Buntglas bewegt sie sich zwischen dem Nützlichen und dem Dekorativen, zwischen dem, was dem Kollektiv gehört, und dem, was das Persönliche anspricht. Das Werk reflektiert die fragile Schwelle zwischen Öffentlichkeit und Privatsphäre, wo Grenzen verschwimmen und Rollen sich verschieben. Es trägt die symbolische Last unzähliger anonymer Begegnungen, die einst unter seinem Licht stattfanden, doch hier wird es zu etwas anderem: zu einem Fragment der Außenwelt, das sanft in ein Objekt der Kontemplation verwandelt wurde. "Where Your Arrival Is Postponed" thematisiert die zeitlichen Zustände, in denen Bewegung unterbrochen wird und die Zeit sich auszudehnen scheint. Es beschwört Momente des Schwebezustands herauf, in denen Abreise und Ankunft ihre Klarheit verlieren und wir uns in einem Zwischenraum wiederfinden. Das Werk legt nahe, dass selbst die funktionalsten und standardisiertesten Objekte Spuren von Erinnerung, Sehnsucht und Geschichten enthalten können, die nur teilweise sichtbar bleiben.


In "Where your arrival is postponed" (2025) a street lamp, once part of public infrastructure, is relocated into an intimate and ambiguous space. Removed from its original context, it no longer serves a functional purpose but becomes a quiet marker of pause, distance, and waiting. Combined with a stained glass casing, it moves between the utilitarian and the ornamental, between what belongs to the collective and what speaks to the personal. The work reflects on the fragile threshold in between public and private, where boundaries soften and roles shift. It carries the symbolic weight of countless anonymous encounters that once took place beneath its light, yet here it becomes something different: a fragment of the outside world gently transformed into an object of contemplation. "Where Your Arrival Is Postponed" addresses the temporal states in which movement is interrupted and time seems to expand. It evokes moments of suspension when departure and arrival lose their clarity and we find ourselves inhabiting an in between space. The work suggests that even the most functional and standardized objects can contain traces of memory, longing, and stories that remain only partially visible.
