Installation/Performance
DIN – EN 14644 -1 is an autofictional
confession.
The setting of the clean room, as a sa-

rules determine the performer‘s confron-

M. woke me up, it‘s quite early. He has been awake for a long time, got up several times, but always layed down again. As I wake up from his restlessness, I look on my phone. E. wrote me tonight.

A complete counter model to nature. The human is the biggest source of contamination and error. Even with precisely dressed clean room clothing one emits more then 20 000 particle parts per minute to the cleanroom. […] They are the sacred
rooms, which make our highly technologized world possible. Every interaction with a technical device, which have become natural acts, wouldn‘t be possible without these clean, anti-natural surroundings.
