Photographs & Poetry Slam
At the vernissage, the artist will talk about the morbid beauty of images and language using the example of poetry slam with his own texts. Poetry slammers are invited with their own texts.
On display are photographs that
refuse the beautiful appearance:
They focus on the lived, marked by time, use, fatigue. Wrinkles, cracks, deposits appear as inscriptions of life - as traces of existence and at the same time as harbingers of disappearance.
