A KIND OF BLUE 2016 / 17

refines one color as the main subject for narrative and abstract responses on daily subjective and on geopolitical issues.

Mondrian-like surfaces contain fragments of figurative abstraction,

linked to the name of Aleppo / Syria.

The profile of a woman connects the body of a man,

who floats through a magnetic ring backwards.

The place

The landscape of the soul

The inspiration of the mind

The wind of the body

The expanse of the sea

The horizon of longing

Nine landscapes

Night scapes - a star map

The orientation of the pueblos

The stones - signposting to the stars

Such as modern street crosses

Map of the ancestors / gods / spirits

The essence of the beginning

Beginning of life - everything only a signpost

Cosmic cycles of time and space

Which stretch themselves

Originated with matter

Instructions for future star travellers

Or intelligent beings who visit

Testimonies of a signal

Like the bear of the Kwaikutl

Who learns to run with its ancestors / spirits

Otherwise, everything threatens to implode by acceleration

The stars / stones are language

As Beuys has expressed

40 years later

What a tiny timescale!

Radioactive waste of the next 100,000 years

What a tiny timescale!

Time inside rear mirror.

details

The global is an illusion.

The now a necessity.

A networked community

Is just as caught,

Like mice in the cage,

Who follow the same cheese

Without realizing, that they

Already have eaten the cheese.

The nuclear arsenal of the cold war of submarines

Is stored somewhere as tourist attraction.

While nuclear weapons are renewed,

New / old nationalisms are fighting their way

onto the stage of contemporary history,

apparently over inequalities to solve the global distribution.
