"While there is something happening here, something else is happening there"

Works 1988-1999; J. Baldessari

During our daily live we are constantly surrounded by events happening autonomous simultaneously next to each other. Sometimes under certain environmental conditions or changes the autarkic events get in contact and create something new, something unpredictable.

When I went to Air Street and Lavender Hill, the fleeting relationships and the unforeseeable created the connection between me and the two sites.



Two different sites under different conditions with different events:








LAVENDER HILL: Saturday 24th of October, 7.30am, wet and quiet


bird - pavement - poo, bus - puddle - reflection, light - wet pavement - reflection,

paint spot - pedestrians - traces, tree close to street - bus - shape of tree,

passing bus - tree - falling leaves








AIR STREET: Tuesday 27th of October, 12.00pm, sunny and busy


sun - right street side - shadow, sun - windows - reflection,

paper - wind / pedestrians - transport



Aristotle described the relationship between events as causality where one event causes an effect to another event...


"According to J. F. Sowa (2000), up until the twentieth century, three assumptions described by Max Born in 1949 were dominant in the definition of causality:


Causality postulates that there are laws by which the occurrence of an entity B of a certain class depends on the occurrence of an entity A of another class, where the word entity means any physical object, phenomenon, situation, or event. A is called the cause, B the effect.


Antecedence postulates that the cause must be prior to, or at least simultaneous with, the effect.


Contiguity postulates that cause and effect must be in spatial contact or connected by a chain of intermediate things in contact." (M. Born, 1949; J. F. Sowa, 2000)"
