The design of folding shades represents a specific
mode of expression of the avantgarde in Eastgermany in the 1980s
and 1990s. The poems by Dieter Brunotte were made to the topic
precisely. The shades have to be perceived as a barrier between
bad and good events of the Iperson going them through. Brunotte
tries to suppress reality to enhance the yearning for a better
world. The poem written on rough shades paper show the unadulterated
folding shades.
The
representation of the object is determined by the character of
the material. The blue colour is predominating the coloured impression.
It is a symbol for the “Blue Hour” , a time of the
day with consciousness and contemplation, till the electric light
once was coming up. Sprayed, painted glued spaces change with
strange signs. The Japanese connection reminds us of the Asian
heritage of the shades pictures. The bamboo clasp of the file
shows a certain distance but also the feeling to get closer to
an expensive secret.
