The video- and soundinstallation Pluto was situated in the attic of an 1898 mansion in Saarbrücken.
The projection showed a slow-motion recording of a group of flamingos gathered beside a waterhole,
filmed in a zoological garden. A layered soundscape unfolded in the warm, wooden attic: The soudn of
bird calls intertwined with gentle splashes of water. The space was filled with a deep red light filtering
through a roof hatch. An illuminated feather shimmered in the dark like a distant star in the night sky.
At the entrance a chart offered astronomical facts about the dwarf planet Pluto, linking the warmth of
the home to the cold of the universe, the passage of time on earth to its unfolding in space.
The work reflected on the quiet resemblance between the architecture of a birds nest, natural cradles
and the structure of a human home.

Pluto grew out of an older long standing project of photographing zoological gardens. Through my observations
I explored the constructed environments of these spaces, their architecture, their illusions and the lives they frame.
