The content of these three exhibited artworks of mine is about fairy tales (Snow White and The Frog Prince). Memories from childhood mix with my biography and are transported into my current work process. I call this mixture of fairy tale memories and material together „farytale remixes“. I take the term „remix“ from my music archive of electronic styles (techno, progressive, minimal, drum ’n bass, …), which occurs quite often. Accordingly, I have also made a selection from my CD archive for the planned songlist, which consists of various remixes.
Remixes are often used in electronic music to redesign and remix existing songs from rock and pop music. Even among the subgenres of electronic dance music, parts or whole songs are transferred into other styles. Without perhaps knowing the original song, a remix can be liked or disliked.
