Berlin-based artist Ulrike Flaig (b. 1962) works with sculpture, installation, drawing, photography, film and sound. This comprehensive monograph, presents “fast” and “slow” sculptures, video productions with live musicians, photographs, notations and small objects juxtaposed against her larger installations. In all of her work, Flaig addresses aspects of time, rhythm and identity.

The term Time Expansion Zones embraces various definitions and sensory perceptions of space, time and motion attributable to the works of Ulrike Flaig in the scope of her artistic development, referring to precisely those time zones which are practically impossible to represent and venture out into the realm of the inexplicable. They are thus related to Night-A-Carriers – nocturnal messengers of the subconscious that are an indispensable element of intuition.
