Infinite Oberflächligkeit

Green Plastic Hats, Marker · 143 x 225 cm

Room scale · 1.7 m human

The original German title for a single hat is "Mütze zur Vermeidung oberflächlicher Gespräche bei Austellungseröffnungen" which translates to "Hat for avoiding superficial conversations at exhibition openings". This Installation combines 24 hats into an infinite symbol suggesting the never ending nature of this story.

The hat answers the questions: 1. Where are you from ? What do you do ? How are you ? And ends with "Okay, bis dann." which translates to "Okay, see you then". It became a part of Berlin subculture and could regularly be seen at art and music events with various people wearing the same hat knowingly smiling at each other.
