Artist Feature

Every week an artist is featured whose single image was published by Der Greif. The Feature shows the image in the original context of the series.

' When I woke up I had become an ant. I trailed over my parents' body. The stench of their rotting flesh piercing my senses. My heart grew faint. " They are dying. " But a flash came. The roar of the rain was God's voice. The rain had come and that which ought to die is now made alive. ' Time has etched traces on the bodies of my parents. And it will continue to do so. New lines appear, soft wrinkles and little spots take shape. I had thought about documenting these 'drawings' that time has made on the flesh, but what would that do? Photographs may preserve for us a moment, but in the end they serve only as a reference for how much time has passed, a reminder of that which once was but is now not. I thought it would be better to make a short story. To imagine a tale in which their bodies go through a metamorphosis. From fleshly forms to stars in the night, the moon, the earth, and the seasons of time that go on and on. - Sean Lee
