Liz Walinski is exhibiting
paintings and cyanotypes right now at Munich Airport Terminal 2 Level 04
Check-in Area. The exhibition started on January the 2nd and
terminates at the 22nd of January.
As my favorite color is blue, I
might be called prejudiced in talking about this exhibition (that’s all there
has to be as disclaimer).
But let’s start with Liz Walinski,
who currently lives and works in Munich. She holds a Master’s degree in Art by
the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich and has been exhibiting art works
and projects in galleries since 2008.
Liz Walinski is fascinated by
clouds and water. “Cyanotype is a photographic technic invented in 1843, which
can work without film, camera and darkroom.”
Let’s have a look at the art that
started fascinating me two days ago.
The first set is a triptych. You
can make out a netherworld, in which water leads down into the ice, like Dante’s
deepest hell. In the middle you can see our world, which is snowed upon as
winter demands. On the side you see God’s realm, the paradise, much like Mount
Fuji (富士山).
And I feel reminded of some of Ando Hiroshige’s (安藤 広重)
Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富士三十六景).
The next cyanotype reminds me of glaciers
in gloomy weather, when they emit lots of blue. And with this picture I also
started reminiscing a painting by the late Rudolf-Werner Ackermann of which I
can produce a photograph.
The last of the cyanotypes that
attracted me the most is this one:
It reminds me of chaos theory, of
bifurcations that make out our lives. The more bifurcations the easier they
lead us into chaos. We can watch it in good crime movies, when the killer ends
up in a chaos of lies, each being the wrong choice at a bifurcation. So the
picture could well be titled “Bifurcations”.
