Since 2003, when she became a foundation member of the “Büro für Raumfragen” (www.raumfragen.org), she was involved in several projects dealing with matters of urbanity and the cultural potential of different social spheres and places.
In 2006 the “BFR” created an audio guided tour entitled “Art&Economy” for the Große Bergstraße in Hamburg.
In 2008/09 the projects were circling around highways, traffic jam and commuters. What kind of space is created while standing fixedly in small cells quite close to each other? As a result she installed a radio and developed a sound installation in between a highway crossing in Karlsruhe.
Right now she is working on a documental video installation about security guards in Bangalore, focussing on their memories and stories from villages in the North of India. Some ghost, a lot of cigarettes and hours of waiting will be put together.
