Mediterranean to modern
From a book about architecture of the 50s in California, “Meditarranean to modern”, the motifs are selected and extracted. While dreaming of the beautiful places, the Mediterranean can be brought to California and yet the places are always to be seen differently, is not the place, the architecture decisive. Katharina Stumm intervened, made trips and in the end packed the spatial into a portable two dimensional image.
It remains the idea of architecture, the idea of space but as in a dream, slightly changed, a skepticism about reality arises, how bewitched it feels
JandlKommaStumm
Ernst Jandl’s life, from childhood to old age, captured in pictures. Selected motifs from the illustrated biography “a komma punkt ernst jandl – Ein Leben in Texten und Bildern” are reworked through chalk and ink interventions. New texts without words are created, “JandlKommaStumm”.
