Projects > Hans Journey, 2008
During the long journey from Egypt to Berlin as a British soldier, Hans collected Art Postcards, thousands of them, probably, a solace to his feelings as an abandoned child and to be separated from his reality.
In 2006 I made my first attempt “to join Hans”. I used a photo paper and draw/painted over it with industrial colors within a limited time of its exposure to light, parts that disappeared in the fixation were attached to time. I created “My own Postcards” as a fellow to Hans’s journey – some were a copy of the original postcard, and others were my own image of seeing Hans in the “space” I created. My join to Hans next to his postcard collection symbolizes a unique Human Being.
