Maurits Boettger
The central topic of my work is time, which for me is both content and medium. In my mostly conceptual work, I approach the subject from a variety of perspectives: Sometimes economically, for example through the sale of time. Sometimes sensually by changing the perception of time through the synchronization of the pulse with other people. Sometimes in denial of progress by waiting or cracking sunflower seeds and currently especially in researching the temporality and finiteness of the resulting works. I am driven by the question of my responsibility towards the world and posterity, which arises through my (artistic) interventions.
