      • Pink Elephant ist eine textile Skulptur, die im Rahmen der Sprint Residency im Studio Hö der Hoepfner Stiftung entstanden ist. Das Werk übersetzt das Sprichwort „Seeing Pink Elephants“ in den Raum – eine Redewendung für Halluzinationen, die normalerweise durch schweren Alkoholentzug oder alkoholische Halluzinose verursacht werden und einen Zustand des Deliriums darstellen, in dem der Geist bizarre Bilder wie leuchtend rosa Elefanten erzeugt. Damit spielt die Arbeit auf den Kontext an, in dem sie präsentiert wird, nämlich die Kunststiftung einer Brauerei.
      Description (en)
      • Pink Elephant is a textile sculpture created as part of the Sprint Residency at Studio Hö of the Hoepfner Foundation. The work translates the saying “seeing pink elephants” into space, an idiom for hallucinations, usually caused by severe alcohol withdrawal or alcoholic hallucinosis, representing a state of delirium where the mind fabricates bizarre sights like bright pink elephants. The work thus alludes to the context for which it was originally made and presented, the art foundation of a brewery.
