MEIN ANGST: The Aquarium
The aquarium functions as a controlled environment for examining the psychological dimension of fear. Its residual red-tinted liquid introduce a sense of contamination, evoking the presence of an event that remains undefined. Rather than offering a literal subject, the piece frames fear as indeterminate and ambient, existing between the physical and the conceptual.
In dialogue with the heart from the same series, the aquarium represents the psychological counterpart to the biological. Together, they construct a dual model of fear — one rooted in somatic reaction, the other in cognitive uncertainty.
