Performance installation (duration: 97 days)

In the era before blogging gained its name, I embarked on a unique project called A-Dress. Over the span of 97 days, I wrote 97 letters to my own a(d)-dress. These letters were made available online for people to read, and in the museum setting, they were downloaded, printed, and then carefully pinned to my dress.

Each letter was printed on a leaf of paper, symbolically connected to an ink-dyed natural Ginkgo leaf on the exterior. This artistic endeavor aimed to explore the ephemerality of information on the internet, particularly in relation to search engines and their ever-changing algorithms.

Regina Frank

Regina Frank (b. 1965, Germany) works with tapestry, painting, sculpture, installation, collage, and performance. Her work, which combines text, technology, and textiles, has been featured in art history books, art magazines, newspapers, as well as Vogue, Harpers, Parade, and Cosmopolitan magazines. She has exhibited in Europe, USA, and Asia. Her most recent project, iLAND, an art installation that aims to draw attention to an imminent environmental crisis, has been showcased at MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture, and Technology, at the Knowledge Pavilion in Lisbon, Kunsthalle Hannover, TheNewArtFest18, Websummit, MUNHAC - Museum of Natural History in Lisbon, and BioArt 2018 in Seoul, South Korea. For 21 years, Regina Frank named her work "The Artist is Present," publishing several books and catalogs with this title in 1998, 1999, and 2001. After Marina Abramović adapted the title in 2010, she changed it to "The HeArt is Present." In 2021, Regina Frank creates the screen print "The Other Side of the Screen" resulting from the unprecedented performance she did at CPS Atelier, which was recorded on video.
