R o u n d a b o u t
Usually we take the place where
we are living for granted. We don’t really notice our everyday surrounding anymore.
We don’t recognize the small changings.
Cologne, the city where I happen
to live, is my starting point to describe my circles to the vicinity and the
distance. The urban environment is the background of my familiar surroundings.
Especially some impressions are very much ingraved in mind. They form my
general picture of this town between tradition and modern spirit. It is a
composition with different fragments changing. Each of them can be seen as a
whole. But returning from far I always enjoy the vivid panorama of Cologne: The
Rhein with its bridges crossing the river and the shipping traffic, the smaller and bigger houses, the old
churches and the cathederal over all, famous. On the one hand this view is well
known and I am in the middle of it, but on the other hand it is again and again
surprising and new. Looking around I find new points of view, I discover and
rediscover.
I try to transform these aspects
in the multimedia arrangement Roundabout like
a map of visual perception.
Be free to travel as an
armchair traveller along this map and get an idea of Cologne!
K o n z e p t des Projekts *
Mapping ist ein internationales Projekt, zu dem Aquarium Compagnie Künstler aus verschiedenen Ländern und Kontinenten eingeladen hat. Ausgangspunkt und Grund-lage des Projekts ist der Ort, an dem der Künstler lebt und arbeitet; seine Arbeit reflektiert sein spezielles Verhältnis zum eigenen Lebensraum. Aquarium Compagnie führt die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven in einem Bildatlas zusammen, um so das Künstlernetzwerk in seinen geographischen, künstlerischen und kulturellen Bezügen visuell zu spiegeln und abzubilden.
* Nach einer Idee von Annegret Heinl und mit Brigitte Kohl zusammen als Projekt für Aquarium Compagnie ausgearbeitet.
C o n c e p t of the project *
Mapping
is an international project, to which Aquarium Compagnie has invited artists from different countries and continents. The place where the participant lives and works is the starting point and
base of the project; his creative work presents his relationship to his living
environment. Aquarium Compagnie brings the different perspectives together in a
pictorial atlas in order to reflect and represent the artists’ network in its
geographic, artistic and cultural reference in a visual way.
*According to an idea
of Annegret Heinl and developed for a project of Aquarium Compagnie together with
Brigitte Kohl
