fwbd3,24, Dorfkirche, Öl auf Leinwand, 60 x 70 cm, 2007. Ich will von jedem Dorf wissen, wo es ist. Im Zuge meiner Katalogverteilung an verschiedene Gemeinden, bekam ich wiederholt zur Antwort, da müsse ich schon persönlich kommen. Das könne ich nicht machen, sagte ich zunächst, aber ausgelöst vom Einwand des Bürgermeisters von Mooskirchen „alles geht“, habe ich im Sommer 2007 begonnen, verschiedene Bürgermeister der Steiermark zu besuchen. Inzwischen habe ich von 440 Gemeinden 280 besucht Einzelheiten dazu folgen bei einzelnen Bildern.
fwbd3,24, Village Church, oil on canvas, 60 cm by 70 cm, 2007. Of each village I want to know where it is. When offering my catalogues to different municipalities, I often heard that I should come and present myself. At the beginning I answered it was impossible for me to visit all the villages and small towns, but I changed my mind when the mayor of Mooskirchen said with certainty “everything is possible”. So I started to visit a great number of mayors in the province of Styria. There are 440 municipalities, I believe, and I have visited 280 of them up to now. If necessary I will go into detail in some texts for particular pictures.
fwbd3,24, Chiesa in un villaggio, olio su tela, 60 x 70 cm, 2007. Di ogni villaggio voglio sapere dov’è situato. Offrendo i miei cataloghi a comuni diversi qualche sindaco mi rispose che era necessario di venire fisicamente. Mi sembrava completamente assurdo di realizzare questo pensiero e dicevo che non era possibile, affinché il sindaco di Mooskirchen dicevo decisamente “tutto è possibile”. Cominciavo in estato 2007 a visitare le comune della Stiria. Ne sono 440 all’incirca e fin’ ora ci sono stata in 280. I dettagli in seguito.
