Vicissitudes
The installation consisted of a six foot ladder and a chalk outline of a body on the floor, with two audio soundtracks, one of people talking about "up" times in their lives and one of people talking about feeling "down".

(a grammar of signs has replaced a botany of symptoms)
The title, (a grammar of signs has replaced a botany of symptoms), comes from Michel Foucault's The Birth of the Clinic, in which he charts a shift in the language surrounding the perception and description of the human body which occurred along with the advent of modern medicine. Hidden beneath layers of highly magnified and slowly animated images of plant cells are small narrative texts which, when clicked upon, reveal botanical observations of colour from the perception of a child. These textual offerings must be actively sought out - with no user interaction they will never be revealed. Upon clicking, no sooner are the texts exposed, then they are covered up again. This continuous process of regeneration illustrates paradox of the elusiveness of any grammar in the face of a relentless botany.

Trost der Bilder
Trost der Bilder ist ein auf den ersten Blick undurchsichtiges Psychospiel: Während ein Männergesicht dem Leser Erfolg, Geld und sexuelle Erfüllung mittels 'Psychographie' verspricht, erzählt ihm kurz darauf ein Frauengesicht, dass Psychographie unsinnig sei. Dann soll der Leser ein paar Fragen beantworten und sich damit eine schöne Trostgeschichte auswählen. Doch: "Der Trost der Geschichten liegt nun darin, daß nichts passiert. Die sich ankündigende Katastrophe tritt nicht ein oder bleibt nahezu folgenlos. Die geschilderten Nicht-Ereignisse zeugen von genauer Beobachtung und sind ebenso präzis geschrieben", so Susanne Berkenheger.
