WAR DEVOTION
a collection of word from newspapers, with correlation to any kind of war.
i tried to cut out all correlating words in those collected newspapers.
all newspapers i used are from the short time periode from 15. april to 10.may 2015. i used 4-5 main newspapers from austria;
it was important for me to have a short time periode as an example how overloaded we are with those words, and how the use of words
in newspapers are creating reality and manupulating or creating common sence.
i arranged those words, first brought them in ordner and then created kind of poems out of them, or war devotions, as i called them,
with the thought that it is nor clear if your are praying for or against it.
also for me it has similarities with the buddist/tibetian praying flags, that are sending out devotions only by the movement of the wind.
work from 2015,
exhibition in june,
