Wings of terror ; Light is where life is

Description: 3 books as one book-object; dimensions vary between books. Medium: Paper, wood, letters.I have read with enthusiasm since childhood, writing little poems and texts since 1995, working with artists, including Friederun Friederichs, Lene Rose Gruner, and Cordula Heyl. I am fascinated by human behavioral patterns, which - depending on how people are raised - often can turn out different; yet, we all belong to the same species. The intellectual conversion is done through my own poems on materials like wood, canvas, metal, paper, plants and stone. Recent exhibitions and book events have included: Frankfurter Buchmesse, Frankfurt a. Main; grenzenlos (Hungry Cloth II, Limitless) Kunstfluss Wupper, RegioArte e.V.; After the Big Bang, Brain Cell bulletin Board Ryosuke Cohen, Osaka, Japan; Mayworks 2012, a Festival of Labour and the Arts; Bookmarks X 2012.
A triptych of books against terror with handwritten poems by the artist. Wings of terror opens like a bomb when it is laid down, the three-book form resembling a tank chain or spiked mace. Each book-object consists of three books. In each book-object, there are 2 black books with black wings, but also a light corridor over the little book light is where life is. The two black books and the small book are connected by a spiritual closure represented by a black buckle. We Europeans read from left to right, the Arab world from right to left. Therefore one can attach the book Light is where life is to be positioned on either side between the black wings.
