| Dear
Friends of Flipbook Cinema, "Actually, the walker is not at home in space, but in time. He is his own master of the hours, he bathes in time as if he were in his element. He is a man of opportunity par excellence, time artist who passes by, flâneur of circumstance, who supplies himself with finds along the way," writes David Le Breton in his essay In Praise of Walking. Here are the dates of my next shows. You are warmly invited. As every year, I will be
showing approx. 30-minute extracts from my
Flipbook Cinema Show as part of the Open
Studios in Brandenburg: 9 May, 9:15 p.m.,
Freiburg/Breisgau (open air, approx. 45
minutes) together with cellist Monika Ecker 16 May, 7 p.m.,
Amsterdam (in English) P.S. It saddens me greatly that no exhibition, no work of art and no stage performance can prevent the suffering of the people in Ukraine, in Israel and Gaza and other crisis regions (that is far too small a word here!). A war like the one taking place (not only) in Ukraine, Israel, Gaza etc. brutally puts one's own actions into perspective and shows what an incredible luxury it is to be able to work with the medium of flipbooks for many years, following one's inner compass. |
