introduction  KAUNTRI, 2010 - 2014 (work in progress)


Loosely combining a couple of series and single drawings, the installation KAUNTRI references

other works of mine, like FORSTGOTTHEITEN/DEITIES OF THE FOREST, A LA RECHERCHE

or WHEN THE TYPICAL IS NEW.

Landscapes and the imagery of nature in general tend to be empty and charged at the same

time: such pictures aim to appease a longing they keep stirring up themselves. Besides

cows, pines and mountains, also yodelling and trucks seem to be working especially well for

that purpose. Inevitably, the nostalgia trying to grab the "genuine" will only get hold of a bastard.
