Alm Vernissage 2023 – Peteralm Bayrischzell – 29. bis 30.07.23
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.
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.

treat all blessings as a curse

you know what i mean
