Matthias Sturm
Statement:
A kingdom for a horse!
The motto is: 鈥淔or here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.鈥� (The New Testament, Hebrews 12, 13). The future city, the future way of living together, and perhaps even the future way of a common approach in the post-factual age, is here in Matthias Sturm鈥檚 presentation at the CICA Museum on artistic disposition. For example, on Japanese paper: Feather-light and weighty at the same time, feather-light in the speed of the visual impression, which acts upon us in 60 joined picture tiles in the secondary act; weighty in its Shakespearean dimension of content: 鈥淓verything stands on the knife鈥檚 edge.鈥� Existential memories flash, old nightmares are awakened and the horses of aesthetic knowledge run throughout. At last: Ecriture automatique will be visualized, will be a reminder, will be gloomy poetry. Does: 鈥淵ou want it darker, we kill the flame鈥� (Leonard Cohen) also apply?
