ENSEMBLE (2016)

Concept & composition: Olga Tsvetkova & Burkhard Körner

A manual of ENSEMBLE

On lighting
Things made more visible, not by more light but by the fresh angel at which I regard them.

Equality of all things
Cézanne: "At each touch I risk my life."

On humor
It's difficulty consists in finding in the thing a new feeling which nevertheless comes from the thing.

On automatism
Catch instants. Spontaneity. Freshness.

On perspective
Bring together things that have as yet never been brought together and did not seem predisposed to do so.

Further notes
The things one can express with the hand, with the head, with the shoulders!

...How many useless and encumbering words then disappear! What economy!

(Robert Bresson)
