[…] “Art today is a flood light and a weapon!” Under this banner, barbara caveng has aimed the flood light of her archaeological-seeming weapon at the global problem of war and everyday violence.

Her work is directed against society’s inclination to lethargy and rescues the aura of art against the medial using up of images. ”
