Karim Reyle & Thomas Rahmann: Gedrucktes auf dem Weg den Nacken hinauf

Karim Reyle works with color woodcuts from the lost form. In addition to the tradition of the woodcut (to reproduce a message as directly and simply as possible), Reyle's works only exist with a great deal of back and forth between thinking, feeling and joking.

Karim Reyle works with color woodcuts from the lost form.
His pictorial worlds are often figurative scenes with text fragments that contain influences such as Rabelais' culture of laughter. In addition to the tradition of the woodcut (to reproduce a message as directly and simply as possible), Reyle's works exist only with a great deal of back and forth of thinking, feeling and joking.

Thomas Rahmann's texts take on various forms of poetry and lyrical prose. Themes such as war, separation, and the watering of windowsill plants emerge in dislocated imagery that is in a long-distance relationship with the absurd and bizarre.
