Positions mimics the style of a video tutorial to reflect on insecurities of defining one‘s „künstlerische position“—a term that doesn’t translate exactly into English but kind of describes an artist’s stance. In those online 3D art tutorials, sped-up screen recordings make the process look effortless while hesitations and mistakes are easily hidden or overseen.
Within the video, my 3D avatar is endlessly moved, rotated, and resized inside a physical exhibition space by an anonymous but powerful cursor. Being trapped in an infinite (video) loop, it never settles, constantly moving from one spot to another. It tries to counter the idea of a fixed individual artistic position, suggesting a more fluid and intangible one instead.
