Toss a coin and you will return, toss two and you will fall in love, throw three and you'll marry.
Fortune is purchasable. From European folklore the term wishing well originates. A well which fulfills wishes brought up, thrown in and whispered to it. Whether the payment is understood as a prior gratitude or is made of calculation for the yet to come, both are based on the idea of tomorrow. Against the background of European debt crisis, national bankruptcy and the army of unemployed, gambling and the desire for future seem very dull or very consistent. At Mount Ararat for more than 100 years the remains of Noah's Ark have been searched for.


ARARAT was installed as a site-specific work at Casino ADLER, Berlin
