Space-re­lated in­stall­a­tion and Videop­er­form­ance "4 Stun­den putzen". The fire ex­tin­guish­ers are ob­jects in the space which dis­turb most of the artists. Those are ob­jects for safetly. The fire-signs are there to reg­u­late the so­cial be­ha­viour. I was in­ter­ested to use those ob­jects and ideas of reg­u­la­tion. 10 fire-emer­gency signs in­ter­act with a fire ex­tin­guish­er from the space which was trans­formed into a lamp. The user in­struc­tions are also trans­formed into a lamp-in­struc­tion. Only the sentece "Vor­ischt bei elektrischen An­la­gen, Nur bis 1000V" are left. The fire ex­tin­guish­er was used and emp­tied be­fore­hand to shoot the videop­er­form­ance "4 Stun­den putzen". On the other side of the wall in the stair­case emer­gency stop but­tons are in­stalled. To be pushed.
