| Dear
Friends of Flipbook Cinema, "Actually, the walker is not at home in space, but in time. He is his own master of the hours, he bathes in time as if he were in his element. He is a man of opportunity par excellence, time artist who passes by, flâneur of circumstance, who supplies himself with finds along the way," writes David Le Breton in his essay In Praise of Walking. Here are the dates of my next shows. You are warmly invited. Portraits in Motion -
The First 20 Years (English)17 - 20
August, Groningen
I have already written this
here, but would like to repeat it here due to
the unbearably escalating situation in Gaza and
Ukraine: It saddens me deeply that
no exhibition, no work of art, no stage
performance can prevent or alleviate the
suffering of the people in Ukraine, Israel, the
Gaza Strip and other regions of war and crisis.
Wars such as those we are (still!!!) witnessing
in Ukraine and Gaza brutally put our own actions
into perspective and show what an incredible
luxury it is to be able to follow one's inner
compass and engage with the medium of flipbooks
for many years. I wish you a wonderful
summer with enough rain. Above all, however, I
wish that people will one day lose the moral
capacity to kill one another. Nevertheless, as always, I look forward to seeing you again or meeting you for the first time. Volker Gerling |
