After Poetry

This small retrospective puts a selection of earlier works relating to Kafka and Brodsky in relation to current developments: they show the formal and content-related expansion of the original themes. New series of photo collages from parts of the original photographs result in completely new readings, freer interpretation of the visual elements and thus a different view on works from earlier years.

The dyptich 'Shoot, Kafka, Shoot! Was originally part of  the 'messiah project' work cycle from 2016. This has now resulted in a series of photo fragments that break down the visual structure of the original motif into atmospheric sections.

The Mixed Media Collages, each containing a photo fragment as the central motif created from a series of  poems by Brodsky (2009), have been transformed into an unreal spatiality by means of 'added' paper triangles. The original photo series was later titled 'Architecture of Memory'.
