Info: Based upon a performance done in the Bavarian Forest days before the exhibition,
the installation shows a stuffed figure (my alter ego) laying on a life sized mirror set atop
a sloping pile of earth on the floor. Pine trees are placed, as if they have started to grow,
at the figure's feet. A spotlight shines from an angle onto the mirror, casting a shadow on
the wall of the figure so that he appears to be standing like a giant in a forest. A large
scale photographic still from the performance hangs on the wall opposite the shadow.
