Beyond The Now

Beyond the Now is a critical examination of the forest as a
symbol of the romantics for foggy vision as well as utopian
ideas about the future and dystopian realities.

Based on the Italian landscape, which was
captured by German and European Romantics
in paintings of the
18th and 19th centuries, a reflection of the past is
interpreted here, but visions of escapism and an
utopian future are also revealed.

Opposite is an insight into a current forest area
after a wildfire. This discrepancy between the
actual state of existence and the hopes
of the past forms the basis of the work.
