S—t doesn’t add up 4K video, 13:26mins, 2021 A park in which Scotland’s national stadium once stood serves as the physical and mental space for a chamber play taking place in the spring of 2020. The emptiness of this clearly defined space melts
with pop culture, social issues, humor, and bare numbers. Happy dogs, sweaty athletes, and lurking beer drinkers perform in this human-made recreational architecture while the narrator sings “Mathematics” by Mos Def. Borrowing from the tradition of the video diary, “S—t doesn’t
add up” links the mundane with a (supposed) search for clarity. Sound: Claudia Vasiliu. WATCH

–×–=+ (Work in progress), 2021–2022 In collaboration with Claudia Barth. Borders are speculative fictions
with real consequences. As writer Georges Perec once noted, borders are lines ‘for which millions of people have died.’ Borders govern our lives: there is no place on earth you can live without being inside a
set of someone’s borders and under their authority. I’m here, you are there, we are on this side, they are on the other side, ad infinitum. For the project –×–=+ artists
Claudia Barth and Christof Nüssli will plant seven flags at seven points on a selfappointed north-south line through Switzerland. This work is a physical comment on an abstraction. The symbols
on the flag (–×–=+) are a playful deconstruction of the monolithic simplicity of the Swiss flag. Flags are almost unfailingly used to signify borders and they depend on wind to animate them, though
weather knows no borders. These flags will hardly fly, for they are deliberately oversized, borne down by their own weight of signification: raised on sculptural bases of wood
and metal, but inlaid with patterns like those left by parasites, undermining the structural integrity of these aggressive constructs. These flags erected and abandoned, votive offerings at the mercy of
the sky; the works completion is in its destruction, the final stroke will be had by the landscape itself. (Leila Peacock) TRAILER

–×–=+ For the project –×–=+ artists Claudia Barth and Christof Nüssli have planted seven flags at seven points on a self-appointed northsouth line through Switzerland. This work is a physical comment on an abstraction. The symbols on the flag (–×–=+ ) are a playful deconstruction of the monolithic simplicity of the Swiss flag. Flags are almost unfailingly used to signify borders and they depend on wind to animate them, though weather knows no borders. These flags will hardly fly, for they are deliberately oversized, borne down by their own weight of signification: raised on sculptural bases of wood and metal, but inlaid with patterns like those left by parasites, undermining the structural integrity of these aggressive constructs. These stands were initially intended to recall the anti-tank barriers familiar from WWII, but contexts change fast; these objects are all over the news right now as war rages in Ukraine.
Kinder wir reisen kinder wir reisen mit leeren koffern wie reisende nie tun wenn wir irgendwo einkommen werden wir unsere Hende ausbreiten das regen staub durchnesst nie lange bleiben wir was wir waren zeit der trenen zeit des lachens wollten wir auf dem Bergen lassen Uns zu treffen hofften wir in jenem Stadt auserhalb des Namens in jenem Dorf wo wir empfangen werden so als ob Wir nie eine reise angetreten sind

EMIGRANTEN
–×–=+ In his book ‘Lines’, anthropologist Tim Ingold observes that ‘for the Inuit, as soon as a person moves they become a line… you lay one line of tracks through the expanse… thus the entire country is perceived as a mesh of interweaving lines rather than a continuous surface.’ This example feeds his idea that ‘colonialism, then, is not the imposition of linearity upon a nonlinear world, but the imposition of one kind of line on another. It proceeds first by converting the paths along which life is lived into boundaries.’
Printed on thin cotton dyed-black, the design is negatively applied using bleach, a positive absence. These flags are designed to disintegrate. The artists estimate that each one will eventually be eaten away by the elements. This idea recalls ancient rituals that predate nationalist pageantry. In many Celtic cultures the practice still exists of the ‘clootie well’, where small strips of cloth or ribbons are dipped in running water and then tied to the branches of a tree as part of a healing ritual; as the cloth disintegrates the illness will be cured.
–×–=+ The threat of invisible maladies upon the integrity of our bodies raises the question: do bodies have borders? Are we our em-bordered? Our skins may indicate yes, but our breath and all our many fluid excretions suggest otherwise. Even the subjective force with which we experience ourselves is a slippery and expanding thing that intermixes messily with the selves of others. Where I end and you begin is not a simple question. Borders are unnatural in all their imagined forms.

“Hat Heimat für Sie eine Flagge?” A straight line, like a white cube, is a geometric abstraction. During the 16th century when the practice of using analytic geometry and interconnected coordinates to plot topological spaces became commonplace, the line metamorphosed from a scientific into a political technology for containing the spheres of influence of nationalist ideologies. We live in a lattice of interlocking cartographic regimes, where measuring instruments of obsessional precision have created these invisible divides. Borders govern our lives: there is no place on earth you can live without being inside a set of someone’s borders and under their authority. I’m here, you are there, we are on this side, they are on the other side, ad infinitum. Borders are speculative fictions with real consequences. As writer Georges Perec once noted, borders are lines ‘for which millions of people have died.’

A desire path (Trampelfad) is perhaps the antithesis of a cartographic border-line. Desire paths are those informal pathways created by humans and animals that run contrary to design or planning, often short-cuts that account for the physical complexities of terrain; intuitive and efficient, their often non-linear scrawl becomes visible through the erosion of footsteps over the earth. They are used as a metaphor for anarchism, intuitive design and the wisdom of crowds. By this measure the (most often straight) lines drawn on a twodimensional map to demarcate official borders represent a desire of a different kind, from the few not the many, who frequently display an absurd disregard for the physical realities of the landscapes they bisect. –×–=+

One of the things that defines the long tradition of landscape painting – a genre of art so beloved in the 19th century – is the inclusion of the sky. We live beneath the sky, with which we have always had a quasimystical relationship as something essentially unknowable. The sky put us in our place, it is the final frontier. But our earth bound maps, in their permanently face-down twodimensionality, skyless and resisting all that is ineffable and sublime, are somehow anti-landscape paintings. We could think of this art project as one that returns these anti-landscape paintings to the landscape. These flags are erected and abandoned, votive offerings at the mercy of the sky; the works completion is in its destruction, the final stroke is had by the landscape itself. –×–=+
Bigger Dreams HD video, 8:04mins , 2021 In collaboration with Tom Huber.
Found images from car advertisements build a narrative around the contemporary treatment of our environment and western
consumerism. Breathtaking nature serves as a backdrop for speeding cars, happy families, adventure-seeking men in midlife crises and other
creatures from the very heart of our society. “We offer big dreams, breathtaking landscapes and endless bliss in a place of
unlimited possibilities. Come on board. Discover.” WATCH

Antibody (Work in Progress), 2020– 2023 In collaboration with Christoph Oeschger
The artists follow exemplary stories from the last two centuries on measuring the world and its inhabitants. The film reveals parallels between some 19th-century science
and today’s scientific and social approach to surveillance images, standardization of nature, and measurement of humans.
The film is based on fictional, theater like interviews with historical persons, which are juxtaposed with found and invented advertisements around the topic. Meanwhile,
apples, which could be seen as stand-ins for the human body, have the leading role in the visual narration.

way, he met two small animals, and they were soaked. So he thought that if he dug a well here, he could find water. There were also bushes, two small bushes. One of these bushes has become the big tree of the village. […] Many things are changing, especially the
soils. Where we used to farm, the salt has moved in. There is a forest in Nguecokh that is threatened by the salinization of the soil. You could say that all this is a consequence of climate change, and Nguecokh is not spared. It is the sea that is advancing because of global
warming. […] This really is a deeply sacred forest and is home of the legend of Dialane. It is said that there are mystical beings, mostly invisible, only a few initiates can see them. These beings collect the water and hold it back. If the village was threatened by drought,
there was a ritual with dances to the sound of the tam-tam. The initiates would address the beings, lamenting the lack of water, calling for rain. And often, it rained a few hours later." Voice messages by Mamadou Senghor, local teacher

Visibility HD video, 9min, 2020 Images and thoughts combined to form a multi-layered essay on visibility in five chapters. There is no attempt to do justice to the vast topic, but rather to generate an idiosyncratic perspective.
In the style of a stream of consciousness, everyday observations mix with politics and pop culture. The starting point is images from the ZHDK research project's wind tunnel, which I combine with my archives' found and own footage.

Under the Skin Video, 16:40min, 2019 Zooming into two books containing mug shots from around 1880–1935, Under the Skin, draws lines from historical events to contemporary developments of control and
surveillance. While describing what she sees in the books, the narrator intertwines subject areas like; how time changes perspectives on historical events, the role of archives as foundations for power and control, the possible brutality of bureaucracy, the current
state of facial recognition and personal experience with the law enforcement. Under the Skin questions given structures of power and asks how we can take back the sovereignty of information.

googly eyes (artist book) Offset print, 235×315mm, 2019 googly eyes is an inventory of fried eggs on Deli storefronts in Brooklyn. Through rephotographing these food replicas and cutting up texts Nüssli explores a fast-changing neighbourhood while trying to
understand current American politics and consumer culture without losing his humour. “Stick with us. Don't believe the crap you see from these people. Just remember what you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening.” – Where to look if you do not want to watch anymore?

Oh, I See, (1899–2018) Knitted scarf, 148×20cm, 2019 The Rennie Mackintosh font and the two slogans from pop culture refer to the burnt down Art School Buidling by Charles
Rennie Mackintosh. A fan scarf for a building that the artist never saw himself but about which everyone talks in the town he just came. A building that society has divided into two camps of reconstruction
and demolition. The scarf also refers to the strong identity attribution about the two football clubs in Glasgow. To what extent can a group identity create a sense of belonging?

Phantom Pain 2-channel video, 19.30mins (looped), 2019 This 2-channel essay video asks how a collective memory comes into being and what images and experiences are
needed for it. The author mixes his own thoughts with various examples from popular culture, history and the now to create a unique narrative about remembering and rewriting history. It questions why a society needs monuments
and images and which images should be. The video is an indirect examination of what life after the fire at the GSA was like. This local approach serves as the basis for a global view of the topics. The video refuses to nail down a single idea instead
it brings together fractures of thoughts and creates a contemporary perspective. In a post-Brexit britain society. WATCH
