the now remains is a work on paper which leads to an interaction with the visitor.
The work consists of a white A3 paper sheet, printed, a small plastic bag, a pencil and a black gum eraser.
Again, this work reflects about the moment, the now, the instruction of action causes the art viewer to join in and experience the very moment of his interaction with the artwork.
In predetermined fields of a DIN A3 sheet, the place of birth(past), the actual place and the current date (present) and a wish (future) are entered and signed by the viewer with pencil. With an eraser everything has to be erased and the remains of black rubber gum particles are collected into a small plastic bag which is finally taped in a field on the paper. The bag contains “the now remains”, what remains of now and by this the now remains.
