BREGEN AUF WEGEN

“BREGEN AUF WEGEN” (“Brainways”) is a series of large-scale pencil drawings continuing the storyline of the two earlier works “TreibHausHirn” and “Leben in LaLagune”: In a dramatic turn of events, the Young Brain manages to escape the Mainstream. High in the sky it resumes its journey, a little less wet behind the ears perhaps, its initial euphoric smile quickly fading when it encounters another barrage of obstacles and, as the plot continues, undergoes numerous metamorphoses and transformations. In the end, its life-cycle (and thus the narrative) repeats from the beginning. Each drawing represents a scene in the ongoing narrative. As the works are very detailed, the viewer needs to step up close and let their eyes wander through the image. Different techniques are employed for each element of the drawing; free improvisations, scribbling and smearing as well as computer-generated lettering and graphics. When arranged in a specific order, the drawings will form a narrative sequence, similar to the individual panels in a comic strip.
