Guillermo Deisler had brought Visual Poetry from Chile into exile.
After a few years of correspondence with him I had understood
how much this had to do with my own work. So finally we both
called all those who – scattered in our small East-Germany –
had seeked to unite text and image.
First exhibition of Visual Poetry in the Club of Cultural Workers, Berlin 1988
before and afterwards are done montages for anthologies, portfolios and
for my own drawer, of which only a few examples can be shown here:
testing the daily news
post-cards: 1) … the stars come closer – 2) to protest – custody space – mangy – put away – 3) letter
for Five Years UNIvers(;), Guillermo Deisler’s portfolio
documents of frontier’s control about two confiscated booklets
given to a Belgian friend
paper out of the times of confrontation in theearly 80ies
a project to paint the wall from the Eastern side short after its opening –
and the result the next day
A GRIT IS A NET OUT OF LINES OR AN AREA
OF DOTS THAT CONSTITUTE AN IMAGE …
the truth is: something to want is making
an experiment to experience what we can
