Annäherung und Verlust - Imagined Geography
Group of 8 B/W triptychs, 100 x 210 cm, 1991
On the one hand, the work tries to deconstruct the Eurocentric view on Africa that has been formed by the media (especially colonial photography), and on the other hand it deals with basic themes of human life that are substantiated in universally valid archetypes.
The texts underneath the images are excerpts of poems written by contemporary African writers.
