Following his booklet »den fehler wiederholen« (repeating the mistake) in our 16-series, which playfully and profoundly navigates between error correction, breathing exercises, and compulsive repetition, Dirk Hülstrunk has begun to explore the sometimes gradual, sometimes sudden changes of the present day on our perception and behavior:
At the heart of »sudden fog« lies an examination of altered perceptions of space and the body, of observing one’s immediate surroundings, of a narrowing range of movement, and of very concrete boundaries that have become relevant to an extent that was previously unimaginable. In between, possible paths and peripheral areas are explored.
