About This Work
In my artistic practice, I explore the concept of time. The rhythm of day and night, as well as the cycle of the seasons, serve as both inspiration and data source.
The movements of the sun and moon create four key time points each day: sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset. Time flows, and time becomes visible. In the next version of the MONDKALENDER series, these time points are transformed into musical tones through the circle of fifths.
Each MONDKALENDER work is based on a specific location and period, as the form of the artwork changes depending on time and place. The data reflects not only astronomical positions but also their influence on light and color shifts.
This work marks a transition from a linear to a circular representation of time. Based on data from Berlin throughout the year 2020, the result is translated into a minimalist visual form.

Artist Notes
“I wanted to record a day.
To leave behind a structure
within the stream of vanishing time.At first, I drew with lines—
long and slender traces of each day.
On each line,
I inscribed the moments
when the sun and moon lit our lives.
These inscriptions began to form
a familiar rhythm of long and short beats.”“Those lines gathered into a month,
transformed into sound,
and eventually became an installation
that emitted light on its own.
Then, I returned
to the language of circles.
Within that shape—once symbolic of wholeness—
I etched the moments
when the sun rose and the moon set.Each circular day was geometrically divided,
and the rhythm once seen in linear days
reappeared in a new form—
as if dancing.This series visualizes
the flow of time,
allowing fleeting sensations
to linger on the surface
of a single page—
my own calendar.”
