Korvin Reich

Several levels come together in his “flying objects”: Force fields, maps, elements from mathematics and physics. The perception of the spiritual world materializes.

Further information about the […]

Friedrich Hensen

Friedrich Hensen works intermedially. He works in social, artistic and non-material spaces, which he summarizes with the socio-philosophical term “traversing the spheres”. This results in site-specific installations, performances and multimedia works consisting of texts, sounds and poetry or socio-cultural projects, such as the Bürgertheater Zeitz. Friedrich Hensen:

The former recognizes the inviolability of every human being’s dignity. It should be the foundation for ethical behavior […]
