This three-fold work (2021-24) was produced out of the context of a residency at ︎︎︎The Watch in Berlin. The inital compent was a video footage shot over the course of the residency and later edited into the 2024 work ︎︎︎Cuttings. The component Cuttings III was temporarily installed as a poster on the outside of the residency location in 2021, a former East Berlin border tower now situated in a municipal park, with the duration of the exhibition determined by weathering and vandalism. The remaining photographic compoment Cuttings II was shown in the artspace Studio Beta in Berlin in a 2021 solo exhibition. The Cuttings series presented indexes of landscaping and place, refecting on notions of the picturesque, and concerns around what may be omited, extracted and cast aside.
