The video work Transformatoren-Haus-Wand / Neonlicht (transformer-house-wall / neon light) shows the wall of a house with large surfaces painted in different colors, photographed in downtown Moscow. There are traces of graffiti, which the authorities do not tolerate and have tried to expunge by painting them over with oil and emulsion paints in various tones. Wolf’s media artworks are created successively. First, she photographed some of the overpainted house walls in Moscow, part for part, and put them back together as large pictures on a computer. As a video level, the photo of a neon light going on and off is laid over the wall photograph with its various degrees of brightness. The changes produce the actual video image: the colors of the wall flicker rhythmically in the light of the malfunctioning lamp. This simple combination of the static and the dynamic is characteristic of Wolf’s works.

To see is the colour design of a rear wall of a shopping centre in Offenbach including corrections and whitewashings of graffiti.
Video: For a long time, a crumpled piece of transparent foil lies unmoving in front of the wall. Then, barely noticeable, a corner starts moving in the wind. After a while the piece slips further. Finally, it is blown off the frame.
Photographs / Montages: Individual circle elements of the wall’s design in Offenbach including all damages and repair traces are precisely photographed, printed out and pasted as a wall frize into the exhibition space.
