Statement zur Ausstellung "round"
Thoughts on working in
Israel
Ansgar Beer
Some round projection
surfaces for a ground with rough edges.
Always the formidable challenge to get only a grain of the geographical and intellectual complexity within this microcosmos.
Always the inescapability of being emblematic and at once unaware of tons of historical and religious knowledge and secret lore.
Being prejudiced and involved by historical entanglements.
Bringing into question ones own ancestory and affiliation.
Facing an abundance of thoughts and raised claims on an ancestral estate.
A limited piece of land which also serves as a symbol of other refuges on this earth with depletable resources.
Being thrown back to the fact that we are all humans sharing the same biology.
Broaden ones own mind to an enlarged altruism.
