  • THAUMATROPIC

    Patricia Hansen-Wagner
    This Pier And An Ocean
    Silkscreen on cardboard
    Helsinki 2012

    This lovely thaumatrope is part of the cover of an ongoing collaborative project between Helsinki-based Patricia Hansen-Wagner and Berlin-based Lisa-Rike Birkholz. In the spirit of famous correspondences, like the letters of Vita Sackville-West to Virginia Wolf or the letters of Paul Celan and Ingeborg Bachmann, the two artists write to each other frequently, their two sides of the communication forming one image, like the two sides of the thaumatrope becoming one when spun.
    Very curious to see how this project will evolve.
