....was the wish, the utopia of paradise of Jim Morrison, the musician whose life ended after 27 years 1971 - probably through an overdose of drugs.

The imagination of a life as the experience of just that was put up for disposition by Levi-Strauss.
What Sabine Mohr presents to us here is the imagination as picture which points to itself, but which claims for commitment like a sign magically charged through enigmatical context.

I would like to just announce that after this Jutta Hoffmann will read to us the announced text out of 'paradise lost'  by the baroque writer Milton.
 
Welcome Sabine Mohr. Welcome Jutta Hoffmann.

Sabine Mohr is fascinated by the tragical power of imagination of one Jim Morrison who devoutly wishes for roses, the sign of love of Mary, the love of god. But who is doomed by the reality and difference in life.
Is it also a failure when suizide assassins seek death being fascinated by the imagination of paradise? Please allow me to leave this question unreflected.

Here it is about the imaginations, the patterns which block here for us the view through the room - even if transparent, just like in each one's counciousness we usually are not empty and open for the here  and now.
The trees could remind of the trees of paradise, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge, when one is released from the wheel (the esotherical wheel of destiny). Like free floating memories they appear in our view again and again, like mementos, which unfold their reason only in cultural context, here being vanished to a sign of themselves.

The PARADISE and the CAR (part of EINSTELLUNGSRAUM's theme of that year) are the frame in which all exhibitions in EINSTELLUNGSRAUM in 2005 do relate to each other.
The terrible truth that fascination of pictures, of imaginations, of what kind ever, are able to bock the view onto the here and now of living people is insofar also relevant in our approach and is activated here by Sabine Mohr.
The noises of a motor in the underground 'dungeon' keep this imagination also alive.

This leaves to add that on the other hand Sabine Mohr sprays  also benign signs and activates "morphogenetical fields", which makes onlookers to participaters.

Sponsored many times through work sponsorship of Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg  we cannot imagine the cultural life in our city in the last years without her work. Her work also brought her abroad several times, for example to China, France, Palermo/Italy.

Bevor Jutta Hoffmann will read now, I have to ask you to release this room from "Vorstellungen" (imaginations) by cutting off a piece of the pattern.
