Liddy Scheffknecht transforms the Kunstraum Weikendorf into a time-space with her exhibition nine to five. The walls are lined with a reproduction of a drawing made with the help of sunlight and the rotation of the earth:
Scheffknecht took the duration of a conventional workday and marked the passage of each hour by tracing the light falling through number stencils on paper at regular intervals. The numbers appear distorted, woven togehter, yet uniform and following a logic.
Through the repetitive action in the production process, the artist structurally incorporates the stereotypical daily work routine with its monotonous or recurring sequences. Objects hanging in the room, which were created in a similar way, reproduce the word "now" in its temporal change of form and make visible the paradox of the ever-present as well as permanently passing present.

Liddy Scheffknecht was selected for the current exhibition in the context of "Multiple Choice" by the Weikendorf jury team with Ingrid Axmann, Robert Buchta, Kurt Felice, Robert Hanel, Susanna Hirschböck, Brigitte Kasper-Ager, Ulrike Kastan, Johannes Naimer, Katharina Neuner, Angelika Pozarek, Beate Thaller, Ernst Wagendristel and Anneliese Windisch, who supported her in the realization.
