constellations

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

Biography
Detlef Hartung and Georg Trenz have developed their own form of artistic expression over more than 20 years of collaboration, transforming 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.
