i can’t tell you why.. but this is one of my favourite pictures. i evokes melancholy cause i think about living in fantasies / living in my head instead of facing reality and having experiences in the real world, if it exists. reality.

PAINTER by Walter Benjamin
The story comes from China, and tells of an old painter who invited friends to see his newest picture. This picture showed a park and a narrow footpath that ran along a stream and through a grove of trees, culminating at the door of a little cottage in the background. When the painter’s friends, however, looked around for the painter, they saw that he had left them—that he was in the picture. There, he followed the little path that led to the door, paused before it quite still, turned, smiled, and disappeared through the narrow opening.

on the painting you see the THE GAEWERN SLATE Mine in Ceredigion, Wales. it was once rich in slate, a purplish-gray rock sought for its beauty and durability. It was extracted between 1812 and 1960. Once humans had emptied the mine of everything they wanted, they filled it with everything they didn’t: broken washing machines, shot microwaves, and dozens of rusty old cars.
this painting is part of the new publication MÄANDER (art book by Hatje&Cantz)

i can clearly remember preparing to paint this idea - in 2009 i took photographs of my friend A when working on my last monograph HOW TO DISAPPEAR. in 3 weeks my next monograph MÄANDER / MEANDER will be published with @hatjecantzverlag i see the continuity of my topics… the line of connection
