STUDIO LUWA (ZÜRICH, 2000-2001)

After I returned to Zürich from Copenhagen I lived in a house in Gemeimeriweg, Albisrieden with my art friends Ingo Giezendanner, Susan Walder and Eva von Wartburg. It was
small, cold and as drug addicts had lived there for several years it was accordingly worn out. The old Luwa AG building stood at the end of the street and we seized the opportunity to
rent half a storey there. I built my salon in the front part of the 300 sq. m. space and the remainder we divided by cladding the iron supports with paper which gave the whole place
a sort of Japanese flair.

It was here that during the next two years I constructed small and large cybernetic objects from scrap, latex and washing machine parts. And every Thursday
I organised a little party where the conspiratorial meetings zur Besetzung des Klub gestörts that led to founding Egocity.
