Description

It is not a real war
we are confronted with,
but war as an eternal
dark quality
of human life.
But do we care?
In pictures with titles
that refer to war,
you have certainly been inspired
by real politic events,
but instead
of letting the incident remain
at a specific level,
you take it out of the story
and make it into a concept.
It is not a real war
we are confronted with,
but war as an eternal
dark quality
of human life.
It is a paradox
that you privately
have manifested yourself
with a clear and radical
community involvement,
but are an apolitical
and ahistorical painter.
It is not a real war
You confront us with,
but war as an eternal
dark quality
of human life.
Even images created
as a political protest,
where a historical event
is addressed directly,
the theme wrested
its historicity.
It is not a real war
You confront us with,
but war as an eternal
dark quality
of human life.
The allusion of something
universal and timeless
makes your images
in danger
of being empty clich￿
For what do we care
of Birth, Death or Love
in general?
It is not a real war
You confront us with,
but war as an eternal
dark quality
of human life.
But what do you care
