Philosophers

Allemagne

2015

In “Philosophers”, I examine the loss of connection to nature in our modern, technically driven world. A longing for nature, as a fixed reference point and an intact romantic worldview in which man and nature are in harmony, is facing an accelerating demise in our fully digitized age. By referring to the external visual similarities of philosophers, a reference to the historical philosopher, which incorporates his life and work, is made.
The concept of “philosophers“ is a quest for a new terminology and a new grammar of thinking about contemporary art and focus on a new meaning of vision and gender.
