Hendrik Silbermanns
(Germany)long-term project "Lunanauts" deals with effects for American
"Moonwalkers", which were triggered by their experience of a foreign celestial
body and by developing a different perspective onto the planet of their origin -
incidentally in the anniversary of the first moon landing. Silbermanns work has been
focused on astronomical research, its absurdities and goals for several years. His cycle
of silk-screen prints "Moonwalkers", consisting of slightly distorted portraits
of astronauts, was first on display in 1998 in the Dresden Academy of Arts. |
