Girls are not able to paint cars

Ziegler Denise

A postcard-sized image of a racing car has been painted repeatedly onto a canvas in a grid formation. The place where the final image would be remains unpainted. A film consisting of the car paintings in the order they were made is projected into this empty space. The installation visualises difference and changes that may exist between almost identical individual images.
