Lest we forget consists of two panels mounted aslant one behind the other upon the wall. 

The panels are of white silk with black typeface laminated on white fibreboard. The text is a continual poem, it’s a collage of words cut out of an old lexica and combined to a new message. 

The words aligned consecutively overlay each other to a graphic scenery. The motif is based 

upon an inverted picture of a snow-covered footpath, digitally divided into several layers, that 

were converted into vector paths and filled with letters. The different typographic layers complement one antother to the overall picture. The more textlayers overlap the more densely becomes the structure, the darker becomes the tonal value. The transfer process works with mirror-inverted laser prints on film, whose toner transfers via heating to a laterally correct print onto the silk.


The text sais: A winter within the milk / Touching white / I am your memory / Without one minute / Loss of time / Lest we forget / The choice to stop / When your skin / Fences for the control / 

No more.
