“I'm just saying. Weather is much more than your own perceptions. Looking at weather is like seeing others.” (from ∞ a play and/or a relational game)

Eva Funk describes a state of indeterminacy, that between process and chaos, and makes this appear to us in the moment of the still fluid, malleable.
She describes her objects as “fictional sculptures”. These can only be seen as autonomous works to a limited extent, as they can cease to exist in their current form of representation at any time. Furthermore, this term refers to a voice that is given to the objects. Within the work, the sculptures find themselves in their own scenario, a context that is often based on narratives. These are taken from everyday life and are intended to stand outside of categorizations such as boredom or redundancy and are likewise not overloaded with meaning, but rather a poetic language of their own should be able to unfold within them. The sculptures play an active role in this. This observation is combined with questions about the way we interact with the objects around us. The sculptures thus also make their appearance as “props” or “protagonists” in various installations, drawings and prints.

In certain creatures, deliberately distorted forms are now shown, which are intended to break up these already preformed frets. The result will be images of bodies and things that are in a state of transformation. In other words, bodies and things that are constantly in motion, always changing, that are unclear, irrational, that are in an intermediate state, that are not either/or, but neither/nor, that understand the gray areas as something positive.
