1.
not all what is here is intentionally visible
& as we stand
between a here and a there
we mark a place of sameness and otherness
& as we move
to face the storm and not be blown away
our bodies become tools
producing uncountable movements
accumulated gestures
twist
scatter
flex
& shiver
2.
not all what is there is intentionally invisible
& as we stand
between a here and a there
we mark a point of a return and a departure
& as we speak
of potential pasts and potential futures
twisting tongues, weaving images
of dialogues attached to meanings
words in translation
faintly heard
as the wind carries us
separately and together

Christopher Frieß focuses his artistic work on the image and the process of image formation. Examinations about the gaze that can lie behind an image, as well as considerations about the generation of value or, conversely, devaluation, are repeatedly subject to artistic investigation. While being questioned at the same time, in its various manifestations, the image is considered a powerful tool for knowledge acquisition. The artist claims to learn in images.
