AT HOME

© 2004

For AT HOME Franz Wassermann seeds cress in the form of a Hakenkreuz into the destroyed floor of a former Viennese living room. This action is closely connected to the history of the building: The National Socialists once expropriated a jewish temple in Storchengasse 21.

In addition, the artist presents the piece EXISTENCE consisting of number of military sleeping bags which are installed at the building´s facade. The following sentences are written on the sleeping bags: “My body does not belong to me.”, “My existence is a provocation.”, “My body is the battlefield.” and “Perfection is the mother of fascism and the fathers are its excecutors.”
