Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt (Hope Dies Last) 2024
Performative Video
The video 'Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt' [Hope Dies Last] shows a rather lacklustre hand movement with which the rings are thrown onto five metal rods stuck into the grass. They hit and shatter with the clinking sound of porcelain. Like other works, this video piece is complemented by several stills and documentary photos. They show the camera set-up and the throwing game on a meadow covered in hoarfrost, upon which the running back and forth of the artist during the action can be seen in a circular pattern. What remains at the end is a small pile of broken pieces and a few rings that have remained intact - an Olympic pile of broken pieces.
