Call Center

Ballpoint pen & oil paint on paper & canvas, 124 x 82cm
March till June, 2009



I realized this graphic work while I was working in a call center in Berlin, a boring job. My point was to give a form to the "lost time" I spend repeating the same questions and hearing the same telephone ring all the time. Thus, I worked with a repetitive pattern, which recalls the telephone ring and measures the time. Besides, I worked with a blue pen on paper, materials which are present in such an office-environment. The blue patterns are the equivalent of 120 hours of "call center work". The paper was glued on canvas with the "marouflage" technique.
