Joachim Harbut
We live in a world that is predominantly oriented towards the visible and thus suppresses or even denies the existence and effect of everything invisible, unconscious and incomprehensible. In contrast to this is the case of memory.
My art encourages people to open themselves to memory. This makes it possible for them to actively embark on the journey to their own being. Remembrance is thus not recourse to knowledge, but rather existential remembering.
My art brings then something to sound in people that only they recognize because they recognize themselves.
