Nouvelle chanson ou SAGAZA-H/N-O – Une jeune femme a non seulement fait revivre la chanson française en France, mais elle l'a aussi rendue musicalement ›sociable‹ pour la jeunesse de la modernité actuelle, même en dehors de l'espace francophone. L'association de la chanson classique et de l'univers sonore électronique, la voix, l'habitus et le rayonnement de Zaho de Sagazan m'ont – comme on dit aujourd'hui – tout de suite séduite, voire ›flashé‹. J'avais déjà eu une 'phase française' dans les années 1980 avec la pop d'avant-garde des Les Rita Mitsouko et le duo rock-pop...

What small children have always known is that the answer to the question "How does salt get into the sea?" is not scientific—"science is bad." The answer is as simple as toddler thinking: salt water is man-made. This picture goes out to all those simple minds, especially overseas, who get lost in conspiracy theories, who take any nonsense at face value without checking it, who deny factual truths, and who above all believe they have to educate their children themselves for religious or other reasons.In the icy wastelands around the North Pole there are huge hidden storage facilities...

"Win background preliminary study" is the result of the first considerations for a Windows wallpaper—in the state of the still unfinished theme, so to speak, but which already represents an independent (different) theme in this form. Once the initial ideas are in my head, I follow what I call the "Royal Triangle principle R.E.X."[R]eveal the underlying idea and create a concept: on the one hand, the wallpaper should have a reference to the familiar living environment and also depict a transition into another, the digital world.[E]mbed the individual components of the overall...

The English word 'psychoanalysis', apart from its composition from the two Old Greek words that give it its meaning, contains another interesting aspect in its word structure. If the first two letters are swapped, the word 'spy' becomes a new and quite meaningful phrase—"The Spy in my Head". Someone enters my inner stage and I myself have opened the front door voluntarily or have been forced to open it. This someone opens other doors— back doors that I have deliberately kept closed. All for my benefit, maybe not really helpful, but it does something to me. Apart from the "necessities"...

“STER'S"—is an ‘abbreviated’ picture title which, in combination with the word object ‘WEB’ in the picture as its appendix, forms the underlying theme. Superficially, it seems to be about the digital cosmos of the (worldwide) web, but beyond that, the dictionary pages of the 'Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language' discreetly shining out of the net point to the fact that there are still alternative analog forms of life/reading—even for me.  Here we have the second theme. This may seem antiquated, there is for example 'DeepL', a powerful online translator...

After months of extreme suffering, fear and hopelessness on C.'s part, fear for her, pain because of her suffering and constant inner turmoil on my part, all the sudden there was something like real hope. In hindsight, I realize that the black clouds were already gathering at that time, I just didn't want to see them—so shortly before the longed-for return home. It's not a memory, this sight of C., the photo taken three months before her death, has burned itself into my mind like a stamp, accompanying me the whole time.

“Loss of the Soul”, subtitled ‘Young Girl Encounters the Young C. G. Jung—Dialogue without a Couch’ is the second work set in the environment of the human psyche. Similar to “PD” it focuses on pathogenic events, set within the confines of one's mind. In the (image) background, the meaninglessness and insignificance of life plays a decisive role for those affected. For Jung, it is the “loss of soul” that is the problem of the modern world (he expressed this as early as the 1960s). According to Jung, everyone ultimately suffers from the fact that they have lost...

We are all familiar with blue lips (and I don't mean lips with blue make-up), whether from our own childhood or from children when they come ashore shivering and with bluish lips after spending too long in cold water. However, that's not what this work is about. These lips on the surface of the sea are nothing more than an artifact with which each individual may associate what they wish, but nonetheless: “The sea speaks.”The background is a slightly modified, freely available photograph, and the work is part of the ‘Playing around with waters’ series. The SEA series explores...

“Kashmere” is a construct of ‘Kashmir’ (the name of an ethnically diverse Himalayan region) and ‘cashmere’ (fine wool obtained from the fur of the cashmere goat, one of the most expensive products in the world). The new word combination of the two terms, which have the same pronunciation, ideally accompanies several themes that are interwoven in the image composition: the rugged mountain landscape of the Himalayas as the original habitat of cashmere goats, embedded in balls of cashmere wool and unprocessed cashmere wool, which in German literally produces 'blankes'...

“PD"—in this work, the abbreviation stands both for ‘per diem’ (German: ‘Reisekosten’) for a short trip into the psyche and alternatively for ‘psycho drapes’. “PD/Psycho Drapes” is the manifestation of an image idea that developed from the memory of the song ‘Psycho killer’ in the concert film ‘Stop Making Sense’ in the mid-1980s, when I listened to the song again after quite some time. Contrary to the track’s title, the lyrics delve into anxieties that plague the everyman, a psychological thriller set within the confines of one’s mind. It navigates...
