about the artwork

we live and then we are dead
the war colors the evening early red
it spreads in horror
puts what moves in chains

distances collapse
it kills time and distinction
it solders us hot to the exaggeration
the dissonances echo a frame

coincidence can never enslave us
a shore the will to right
war is no solution
it is the problem (of evil)

and never salvation

poem by Kirstin Breitenfellner
we live and then we are dead
mortality weights
