“Crude Oil Pump versus Honey Pump” addresses the tension between mechanistic and holistic thinking,
reflecting in its opposing actions the current process of our human existence in relation to its
foundations.

Two pumps, one filled with crude oil and the other with honey, work against each other. The substances
are pressed against each other and separated again at random time intervals. In this symbolic
confrontation, an uncontrolled and dynamic process emerges.

In the art context honey is connected to Joseph Beuys’ works on the sustainable social system of the bee
state and his concept of the social sculpture.
