Here the new incarnation of the Utu ornament as exhibited in 2016 during EMOP 2016. I think the contrast between the frame and the ornament is great. It was part of my altar there.
Materials: Fiber composite material, print, paint, Print: Litho archive Matte Dimensions: 150 x 100 cm
Finished this one in 2015 already, but exhibited it the first time in 2016. Unfortunately I did not yet know the right mixture of my fiber composite material to make it lighter (right now it needs heavy wood to keep it straight, not so with the new recipe).

I had an exhibition with 13 other lovely people in Boulevard Berlin from october 2016 until december the 31st 2016. The exhibition is part of the European Month of Photography and takes place with support from the ‘Kulturamt Steglitz’

He was robbed and died about a year after I made the photos this triptychon was based on. He has seen the first results of my work, but never the finished project. He is still on my facebook feed. If I send him my prayers in a direct message, will he pass them on to god for me? I’m not sure I want the winged guys on either side of him to be my messengers, but maybe that is just me.
I wrote the following about the piece in 2015 for an exhibition (translated in German):
“Der heilige Stefan der Besoffene (2012/2013) ist ein Porträt von einem der vielen die der Filmriss zum Lebensentwurf gemacht haben. Sind sie Kinder der Sechziger auf der Suche nach Selbstauflösung, sind sie kranke Süchtigen oder sind sie Schamanen/Propheten in ihrem Rausch? Ist diese Symbolik ein Gespenst unserer Vergangenheit oder zeigt es eine Zukunft? Oder was gewesen ist, ebendas wird sein, und was geschehen ist, ebendas wird geschehen, und es gibt gar nichts Neues unter der Sonne.”
