The installation is a sculptural cityscape with four words: one life to live. The words are placed individually and joined together to form a circle. The surface of the words is printed with binary numbers symbolizing our computerized age. Hundreds of paper figures are on and all over the installation in various poses full of physical expression and individuality. In the center of the installation is a broken one. In the center of the installation is a torn foundation with groups of figures mounted on different segments, as if everything is in motion, getting mixed up, finding a new order or falling apart? The installation addresses the transience of life and propagates the importance of the moment, the here and now. The figures represent a society. The narrative aspect combined with the philosophy that art can be seen as a catalyst for social interaction and understanding is a fundamental aspect of the work. The narrative aspect combined with the philosophy that art can be seen as a catalyst for social interaction and understanding is a fundamental aspect of working with these paper figures. Each figure is an original torn and folded from the worthless mass-produced "Tropfenfänger," the tissue paper ring attached to the bottom of a beer glass to catch the dripping foam, a German tradition. This paper ring was the inspiration for the founding of the "beer people" society. The "beer people" were created in 1993 in an old Berlin "Kneipe". They consist of a paper ring that is attached to the bottom of the glass of a freshly tapped beer to soak up the foam. This paper ring was the inspiration for making the "beer people". Each of the figures is a torn, ripped and folded original.
