Information
The mural 'Helping Hands', consisting of fingerprints on aluminium mounted on steel and glass, is a poetic condensation of a study on the topic of 'touching' on a psychic and a physical level based on an imagined trip from the dissolution of national borders to the human body.

touching
touched we experienced the boundaries were dissolved in recent years, new ones were constructed and when they were not accepted human bodies were slaughtered in the name of a boundary.
cities must be constructed again, capitals rebuilt, the new marketing trick is to provide bleachers for viewing “the largest construction site.”
"the body in the age of biotechnologies as 'construction site'"(f. roetzer), perhaps the largest preceding the imminent dissolution of the body in cyberspace.
implantations, prostheses, blood and sperma banks are now taken for granted in everyday language, the sale of organs still has negative connotations, organs, tissues, bodily functions and liquids can be replaced.
touching the skin, the boundary between oneself and the outside.
touching, it strikes one as a nostalgic gesture. It cannot be replaced, the therapeutic effect has been proven.
