Giant pill millipede, titanium, stainless steel

The series presents experimental setups featuring giant pill millipedes curled into a sphere. This posture can be observed as a biological defense mechanism and at the same time evokes embryos. In the universe, the spherical form appears frequently – for example in galaxies or planets. When it became clear that the Earth is spherical and not flat, the boundaries of our imagination and worldview shifted fundamentally.

The works examine how „inside“ and „outside“ are produced through shells, boundaries, and conditions. The sphere serves as a model for the basic fact that living beings – and especially humans – are always embedded in spheres: from the womb to the planet Earth and its atmosphere.
