watercolor, collage and colored pencil, 15 pages, 42 x 29 cm
My video shows the creation of a HEFT in November/December 2020. I installed a camera above the table and the camera took a picture every two minutes. These photographs were combined into a «video». In the present version, Barbara Naegelin has added an audio track to the video.
A HEFT is a work that form a self-contained sequence over several pages. So they are not «sketchbooks», but represent a genre of their own. With a HEFT (copybook), I determine the scope and format in advance. They are defined and must not be changed during the producton process. Over the recent years I created a large number of such HEFTE.
Some work titles from 30 HEFTE from thirty years, that were shown in 2012 at Stampa Galerie Basel, in the exhibtion «HEFTE UND MATERIALBÜCHER»: Ob Kinder oder keine entscheiden wir alleine 1992, Raum und Gedächtnis 1992, Materialbuch 1984 – 1989, Ohne Leid kein Freud 1987, S’Tschernobylheft 1986, Teekannentiere 2012, In den Wald gehen 2012, Rotkäppchen sieht rot 2012, Peepshow (von Anna B) 2012, Mit den Waffen einer Frau – ein Taschenbuch 2012, Liebesnester 2009/10, Tiere 2006/07/12
