Deliciously Disposable Earth

A WRITTEN PICTURE: TASU

A visualized paragraph on what seen and experienced, while visiting an abandoned mining town on Queen Charlotte Island, Canada, 20 years ago. The sketches are based on memory, the installation of the scripture is created with pencil directly on the wall

„Thinking about the fact, how people become friends with their surroundings and their environment, I feel they need a possibility to get to know each other. Using the phrase “to get to know” I like to talk about a way, you experience each other with using your senses – not just “to get to know” from looking at something on TV or playing with a touch screen about our nature’s wonders.

The piece A WRITTEN PICTURE: TASU tells about an experience with an abandoned mining site in Canada on Queen Charlotte Islands. Already half of my recent lifetime back – and still, I choose to work with that memory as it is present as it would have been just recently.

I’m an artist working with communities, people & communication, things and needs of our daily (social and global) life we are facing. The “DDE call for artists” did catch me in a very personal way. I like to tell you a story, brought onto the wall in a light, written appearance, contrasting the heavy duty issue, accompanied by some small sketches. I experienced the mining (there and probably anywhere else) as a very cruel way, how we get it done to fuel up our cars, heat our homes and enjoy – without using our brain – all other energy bound prosperities of our globalized world.“
