Corner Corone consists of two video projections that are placed in a corner of the exhibition space. In every corner top of the space a sound source is located. The video projections show the interior of an empty Berlin office block. Nothing much happens in this unused, unfurnished space. A few movements, diffuse shadows passing by and changes in the light visualize the passing of time rather than firmly outlined events, while subtle quadraphonic sound enables us to presume or recognize events inside or outside the space.
Suddenly a crow appears inside the office space. It is a so called Hooded crow, that lives in the east part of Europe and is often seen in Berlin around areas where nature and culture meet.
This installation has been shown during a solo exhibition at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin and during the group exhibition Foreign Affairs Berlin at TENT. in Rotterdam.
