What 3 Words: ///focal.error.hurt
Performance key: Outdoor • Sound
The basis of Stefan Reiss’ works are digital drawings consisting exclusively of straight lines, which today form an archive of over one thousand works. In several, complex steps, he transforms these drawings into paintings, sculptures and installations. In the artwork O.T. 1191, he colours the lines and fields by applying one of his colour alphabets, in which he assigns according to the sound a specific colour to every letter of the Latin alphabet. The digital signs are given a real, haptic form again by spatialising them using a minimal structure and ship’s ropes.
