shared space – homo ad circulum, 2019

4’ 29’’ HD video loop with drone sound, showing a man sharing a defined space with a drone. The view of the drone is documented in a book “homo ad circulum” (16,5 cm x 22 cm x 4cm) in over 2000 images.


The control of a drone as a remote – controlled electronic flying eye, orbiting the human being and reflecting on today’s technology and its dynamics. New Technology becomes a constitutive part of man and part of his being and therefore questioning where humanity can be found.


A white chalk circle, a human being and a drone are the experimental set-up of the project “shared space”. Circling around the human object, the drone produced over two thousand photographs within the space of four minutes and twentynine seconds, before its power supply failed.
