"Everybody has a lot to say = has a language +
wants to be loved. Our walls overwhelm, frustrate, contain language-situations:
helplessness and desire, for example. The image is taken from a wall,
3 x 4 m, I have been developing since January, un mur des choix / SPRACHMAUER / Exi[s]t, A language, in my studio at La Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris. The wall is
composed of drawings, paintings, shapes, marks and text; Each work is
valued the same, contributes to its surrounding space, invites attention,
owns its place. By putting in adult-relationship a multitude of multi-genre
works, questions of mood, composition, intimacy and choice become vital
players of the viewing experience. The wall exists as a totality
of expressions. Is the wall a mess? Is the wall free?
The
reading of the wall, much like a book, challenges the viewer's needs,
habits and beliefs. How is abundance or scarcity relevant in the process
of choice? Who is really asking us to choose? What are the consequences? Does the
wall have feelings too? Is it possible to betray the wall?” -- Christine Herzer
