Alm Vernissage 2023 – Peteralm Bayrischzell – 29. bis 30.07.23
- i am honored to participate in the Alm-Vernissage 2023 (alp-vernissage) on the Peteralm/Bayrischzell this year 29 to 30.july 2023.
My contribution will be 2 tryptichons on fabric. The works and their titles create a kind of intimate situation in the midst of the fantastic nature of the Bavarian Alps and enter into exchange with the viewer.
The titles deal with fundamental questions of being human.
As always the titles of the works are creating an additional level of understanding (i think), looking into questions, i am exploring in my work over the years.
- ich habe die Ehre dieses Jahr an der Alm-Vernissage 2023 auf der Peteralm/Bayrischzell 29 bis 30.Juli 2023 teilzunehmen.
Mein Beitrag werden 2 Tryptichons auf Stoff sein. Die Arbeiten und ihre Titel schaffen eine Art intime Situation inmitten der phantastischen Natur der bayerischen Alpen und treten in Austausch mit dem Betrachter.
Die Titel beschäftigen sich mit grundlegenden Fragen des Menschseins.
Wie immer schaffen die Titel der Arbeiten eine zusätzliche Verständnisebene (denke ich), die sich mit Fragen beschäftigt, die ich in meiner Arbeit über die Jahre erforsche.
tryptichon 1 consists of 3 works from 2023 – besteht aus 3 Arbeiten von 2023
if the multiverse exists, did it come into existence through necessity, chance or purpose?

Ist der Mensch ein Spielball der Notwendigkeit?
in our explorations of reality, how can we know what to trust?

If so, is this an irrevocable process?
