CONTEXT COVID-19
Reinterpretation of existing artwork in the context of modern times.Art is imperishable
All of the following pictures were taken long before the Corona virus hit our world. At that time, every picture had a special meaning to me in relation to circumstances in my life. This hasn’t changed and all of these pictures with their meaning help me to bring back valuable memories of good times.
None of the pictures had or has a bad meaning to me or should be considered negative.
Art reused – an experiment
Join me in my experiment of reinterpretation my work in the days we’re living in. Learn how art can be reused over and over, given new meaning and adjusted to the present.
Next to each of the following pictures I added a few words to give you an idea about how that picture can be used to explain our world today and represent what happens to us during the times of COVID-19.
