A HOLE IS BEING GNAWED IN MY VITALS (says Sappho)
(2020) Performance with Fette Sans, duration: 7 hours
In „A hole is being gnawed in my vitals (says Sappho)“ Marie von Heyl and Fette Sans performed the excesses and exhaustions of language. The 7 hour long non-stop conversation circled around the redundancy of desire, the porous body, exorcisms and cravings of love and the leaking of words that cannot be taken back. The performance took place in November 2020 on the opening day of „Love Letters: Stories of Distant Proximities“ at Horse and Pony Berlin amidst work by Kasia Fudakowski and Julie Favreau. The exhibition was curated by Lea Schleiffenbaum and Marie DuPasquier.

AFTER THE PARTY
(2018) HD video, 7 min
»After The Party« is a lament over the loss of certainty. In the video a nostalgic voice mourns a bygone era: a time before humans were bereaved of their mastery and it seemed still possible to neatly divide the world into observing subjects and objects of observation.

THE ALIEN OBJECT MANIFESTO
(2016) HD video, 5 min
Building on the tradition of artist manifestos this video employs the many-voiced pronoun WE to express thoughts about subject-object relationships and gives a defiant defence of the commodity against the return of the hand-made.

The Ease of Handling
The Ease of Handling is a multi-media installation showing a series of looped videos on iPads attached to glass screens. A pair of gloved hands strokes a selection of objects, an act equally evocative of art handling, pantomime and the fetish of subject-object relations.

The Occasional Table Series
(2014) fine art inkjet prints, 40 x 30 cm
Everyday objects covered with grey spray-paint look at a first glance as if they might be computer generated. Only on a closer look do small »flaws« or unevenness become visible. The misused use-objects exist somewhere on the cusp of being and seeming, between practicality and fetish.

Of Occasional Tables and Alternative Endings
solo show at Phoenix Gallery, Exeter, UK 2014
For this exhibition an on-going interest in domestic interiors and mundane objects is explored through the English term occasional table (a small, typically folding table with no specific function). The phrase resonates with the artist’s suspicion that an object may posses multiple states of being, independent from its common use. After all, if an object becomes a table only on occasion, what are its alternatives; what else may it be at other times?
