CONSTELLATIONS

The work “constellations” by Detlef Hartung and Georg Trenz locates Graz at a point visible from afar, which provides both a unique view and orientation and forms an interface between heaven and earth. A cosmos of language and light transforms the fortress wall below the Graz Museum Schlossberg into a zero point for determining one’s own position.

Biography:

In over 20 years of collaboration, Detlef Hartung and Georg Trenz have developed their own form of artistic expression with which they transform texts into impressive images. Concrete language becomes pictorial signs in terms of both content and form. The resulting word images create large-scale image-text spaces that correspond with the real, three-dimensional spaces onto which they are projected.
