| Wings of Terror and
Light is where life is : Ingrid Wiche, Lenningen,
Germany, December 2012 A triptych of books against terror with handwritten poems by the artist. 'Wings of terror' opens like a bomb when it is laid down, the three-book form resembling a tank chain or spiked mace. Each book-object consists of three books. In each book-object there are 2 black books with black wings, but also a light corridor over the little book 'light is where life is'. The two black books and the small book are connected by 'a spiritual closure' represented by a black buckle. We Europeans read from left to right, the Arab world from right to left. Therefore one can attach the book 'Light is where life is' positioned on either side between the black wings. Dimensions: 3 books as one book object: width 10.1 cm x height 23 cm x length 21 cm (2 x 3.8 cm = 7.6 cm width and 1 x 2.5 cm) x 23 cm (height) x 10.5 (x 2 = 21 cm length) Wings of Terror (x 2), included the little book (x 1) (width 2.5 cm x height 7 cm x length 5.5) Medium: paper, wood, letters, I have read with enthusiasm since childhood, writing little poems and texts since 1995, working with artists including Friederun Friederichs, Lene Rose Gruner, Cordula Heyl. I am fascinated by human behavioral patterns which - depending on how people are raised - often can turn out different; yet we all belong to the same species. The intellectual conversion is done through my own poems on materials like wood, canvas, metal, paper, plants and stone.
