The work Das Dokument des Dokuments des Fotos der Performance (The document of the document of the photo of the performance) is part of a complex group of works I showed in my thesis exhibition under the title You forgot the color film. This dates back to a photo that I shot during a performance during the conference Performing Memory (Kunstraum Niederoesterreich, Vienna, 2010), I doubled the photo four times with the same image. In the installation, seems to show the figure through an endless repetition, while the light of the overhead projector, which passes through the four-walled object, increases from wall to wall.
