Der Bruch - Discontinuity
This series is dedicated to the short story 'The Anarchist Banker‘ by Pessoa. I was fascinated by the simplicity of the anarchist model, especially the binary opposition between social and natural fictions. Anarchism in art, would that mean: the dismantling of common perspectives? The disclosure of natural forms and colours?
Series II 'Opposition and Unity'
In Series I 'Das anarchistische Wohnzimmer - The Anarchist Living Room'
includes eight canvases.
Here I continued to explore the relations of ‘Two’. But this time
I used pigments and acrylic and played with the peculiar contrast
of grey and brown. Sometimes I assembled small elements of cyanotypes
which I prepared beforehand.
The titles of the paintings in this series are free associations
of Pessoa’s anarchist slogans.

I used an old book with Russian wallpaper samples from Soviet times as a basis.
I was interested in how two very simple elements relate to each other.
I tried to uncover the vibrations between them and how they affect each other’s balance.
