Connection to Rheinland-Pfalz

“he Rhine connects, like a lifeline, Mainz and Wiesbaden with Neuwied, where I worked for 37 years. Artistically, I am well rooted in AKM in Koblenz. Twice, on the occasion of Ash Wednesday of Artists at Herz-Jesu-Kirche, I developed installations, and with FLUGVERBOT FÜR TAUBE I found a place in Garnisonskirche to reflect on religion and reality.”
