The video installation "Four" explores the imagination and abstraction of a social utopia. To make the subject matter tangible, 3D renderings of symbols and allegories of an imagined utopian future model are projected onto a glass object. Meanwhile, water vapor begins to fill the glass corpus standing on a concrete block. The utopia is transported less by a specific model, but more by a basic mood based on ideologies such as the Gaia hypothesis and collectivism. The constantly changing elusive water vapor as a projection surface supports this feeling.
