Daniela FriebelSilberstreif

Work drawn from the letters and photographs left by an East German particle physicist, using the documents’ creases, handwriting and perforations as imagery.

Friebel builds the show on the estate of an East German particle physicist from the early years of a divided Germany. His letters and photographs follow a young man finding his intellectual and existential footing in a period of upheaval.

The physical traces of the documents, such as folds, handwriting and perforations, become image carriers and metaphors. The works move beyond the biographical to ask about freedom, arbitrariness and responsibility in a polarized political era.
