The work „Ready, steady, go“ deals with processes of human orientation and ultimately it is about entering new living spaces. The pictures represent different stages of orientation in life. It ranges from the very adaptive behaviour of the human being like following rules and norms to the disengagement from all conventions.

We people must act and decide how we want to shape our life. Life orientation is a process to which we permanently are subjected. Life is continual development, change and adaptation. Every one of us is on the search, needs orientation, reorganization and adaptation in order to deal with ourself and the constant variations of life.

Our living space consists of more than one space. We live in a variety of differently constructed spaces that are complex and permanently remodeled. We go in different directions, move between order and chaos, between normality and deviation.

We obey laws, observe rules and conform to signs. Order creates normality. Normality creates order.

Order gives a feeling of security, a joining with the other.

Forced order, cemented thinking, mechanical behaviour leads to stiffness and lifelessness. We must learn to liberate internally in order to avoid still-stand.

A key experience is first, often something small, insignificant and comes unexpected. New spaces arise in the unforeseen, with crises, chaos, discontent, with feelings of senselessness and alienation. Incisions in life open new spaces and realities, allow blurring boundaries and redefining new boundaries.

Out of the narrow of the habit - into new, unknown. Living spaces must be performed. Often these are protracted processes.

We need connections in order to construct new rooms. Interfaces, contacts, exchange. New impulses and perspectives are opened for us that release energy for entering new spaces.

Ready, steady, go.
