pressure installation
5 June - 31 July 2009
In the same playful and thoughtful way, Hermann Flint deals with the subject of becoming and passing away and thus expresses both the expiry of the year and the cycle of life.
The colourfulness of the individual elements, which is first of all the object of the observer, gradually recedes until a structure appears, and the figurative of the work loses itself.
The work as a unit gives a new impression on the ground, which demands to set accents, to weight the individual parts, to change the space, thus creating a "print installation" as a whole not to the accessory of the place of the presentation, but designed it.
The part and the whole - individuality versus part of the whole body - are the determining basic theme.
Actually, the exhibition began with the transport of the works to the Kultur- und Atelierhaus Schöneberg. In an action with ten helpers, the first works by Flint's nearby studio were carried over the Winterfeldtplatz to the gallery galleries. Thus the visitors of the cafes around the place were able to enjoy a preview of Hermann Flint's work.
