How the beam of light touched him
From the foreword by Christa Lichtenstern: "When Barbara Beisinghoff uses water jets to pierce her handmade paper, whirring fields of light are created, causing her compositions to vibrate and her mysterious oscillating spaces to appear as if traversed by inexplicable cosmic movements. Here, the omnipresent potential of transformation can lead the way: Light transforms!”
2000, ‘The Singing Jumping Lion Lark’
of the Brothers Grimm. Three collotypes printed at Lichtdruckkunst Leipzig one etching, four watermarks
created with Johannes Follmer
one photo on Kozo and
one text sheet hand-set and
letterpress, Emilio Sdun
ten sheets in embossed portfolio
10 variations, 70 x 50 cm
2000, ‘The Singing Jumping Lion Lark’
consists, too of 32 handmade sheets
70 x 50 cm with drawing,
watermarks and a continuous water jet text ‘Dearest father, I want to go and
already want to appease the lion.’
I installed the sheets on the risers
of the stairs to the sun
and the moon
to be read against the light.
