“A. ..nox”—Annie Lennox, singer with the Eurythmics in the 1980s, solo artist since the early 1990s. Alongside Dolores O’Riordan, she is the second member of my “AFFMs” (absolute favorite female musicians) to whom this short series is dedicated. Her singing, her versatility, and her social and political commitment have impressed me time and again over the years.
The work shows Annie Lennox both in her younger years and at age 60. The color division is intended to reflect her versatility.
[A] The combination of several visual objects against a themed background may evoke an (English) term that is ambiguous in German and thus “calls up a second theme”.
[B] In addition, this combination may result in a new subject or an invented word through an equally pronounced but differently spelled word combination, as well as through a differently pronounced but equally spelled word.
[C] Sometimes it is the title of the work that reveals the background and thematic association of the image.
[D] And in the one or other case it is just a modified photograph.
