I AM WORKING OUT OF NATURAL PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE (NPI)
I founded EDITION ACHTUNDGRUEN to indicate own images and lyrics. (2010)
I studied visual arts and humanities. I realized my way of seeing and understanding through exhibitions, installations, performances, lectures and poetry. (In Germany, Switzerland and Italy) Since 2013 I am living and working in the Netherlands. Here I am editing own books and works on paper.
IMAGES. When taking pictures I am scanning the world. I want to get an idea of It and of myself. Visualizing what I have found. Both makes me alert. It can happen on the spur of a moment. That blink of an eye could mean the birth of an image. He says: The most important thing is what the eyes are doing when seeing. But this is not dictated by the eyes.
My wandering eye, the eye of the camera and the consciousness behind both, all working together to create an inexplicable coexistence. There is no resemblance in seeing. I have to accept new results, pictures never seen before. When looking around, I am searching for oneness. Images surround me wherever I am. Microcosmic fragments of the creation. Appearing on the camera’s display. Sometimes the urge: Do it!
LYRICS. There were moments where words came to me from an unknown source. And the inner voice said: write them down. So a collection of notes came into existence. Years later the question: what can take place with them? Write a book, my son said. Three books were the first outcome. Since this time words are my escort and open me up for the secrets of word and speech. Out of points of time words were blowing, expecting that I, that we, can detect their messages. Words from light genesis. Placed between the pages of the seekers life. ma me mi mo mu ra ra
