NIETZSCHE IN ITALIEN.
text - image - signature		 crossover of art and philosophy
a series of 30 objects

each case of etched and brushed aluminum (12x9x6") contains evenly spaced 3 acrylic glas-sheets with heat-tranfers of text - image - signature, giving to read:
1) a passage of Nietzsche's work temporally assigned to his visit of a place in Italy,
2) a photograph referring to that place, while
3) one of Nietzsche's signatures, names of his own or places, from the background interferes vice versa the other writings.
#9 Morgenröte - Genua - Nietzsche  
The spatial mise en scène of 3 translucent inscriptions in moreover a reflecting silvery case that attracts attention to its mediality constantly distracts the eye of the beholder, aiming at reading the single sheets but has to give over to the never ending intertwining of text - image - signature.
#10 Fröhliche Wissenschaft - Genua - Prinz Friedrich  
Depending on standpoint and focus by each blink of the eye the graphic traces of text - image - signature referring to and interfering with each other are set in motion again and again ...
#22 Fröhliche Wissenschaft-Riviera-F.N.  
This deconstructive disposition does not aim at a meaning but follows the flow of writing in its shifting, delaying, supplementing play happening in the triple dispositif. Incessantly each sign refers to others, continually displacing its identy the sign in an endless process of delay never arrives.
#27 Der Antichrist - Turin - Antichrist
