“In Granny´s Dresses” is a continuation of exploring my relationship towards my dad´s mum who has died in 2014. After the first portrait I had been allowed to take of her in 2005 I had been starting a documentary collaboration with her until her death. In 2014 I created “BED”, a videoperformance in her garden, as a tribute to her.

This series of self-portraits features one of my granny´s garden dresses in each of the images and one of her objects I took with me when we sorted her belongings. It´s putting my self not in her shoes but in her dresses and transferring them from her habitual environment in Bavaria into my living environment in Lisbon at the time of creating the work.

Nothing really gets lost, everything just gets transformed.
