»Angel of History, or the deformation of the line«, 2017, woodcut on 170g paper, 59.4 x 42 cm
I was born in 1969 and have been living in Frankfurt since 1993.
I would like to explain woodcuts from my series »Angel of History, or the deformation of the line«.
This refers to a picture of Paul Klee, owned by Walter Benjamin and based on which he has written the
metaphor of the »angel of history«. The series consists of six individual sheets that I have combined
with each other and currently consists of 31 variants.
