Audio descriptions

One can see a group of figures who are missing certain human characteristics, such as their hands or heads. In fact, they are reminiscent of clothed mannequins. They are arranged around a hopscotch court alongside leather suitcases in various sizes and shades of brown.

Zu sehen ist eine anthrazitfarbene Skulptur, die aufgrund der dargestellten Merkmale an einen Frauenkörper erinnert, allerdings in abweichenden Proportionen.

Weiblicher Torso mit Ohrringen
One can see a device resembling a radio. On it, an illustration of a group of people—four in total—can be seen. The overall quality of the figures seems blurred and blends into the background.

Here, an overcrowded railway station scene can be seen—a packed train and platform, gathered by different people.

On display is an oil painting mounted in a simple, narrow wooden frame. The situation depicted looks like a snapshot taken during a train journey: In the center of the picture space, we see a dark-haired man with a mustache sitting in a carriage and looking out of the window to his right, in which his reflection can be seen. He is wearing brown leather shoes, bright blue trousers and a snow-white shirt.

This unframed oil painting shows ten people arranged in two rows of five, in the style of a group photo. They take up almost the entire surface of the picture. Their pale, almost gray skin stands in stark contrast to the dark, virtually black background, which gives no indication of the setting.

One can see an edgewise tilted work, that illustrates, ostensibly, three figures in total. Their features collide into an illustration of curved and pointed lines.

Scheibenmaske
One can see a painting made up of different shades, ranging from strong hues of red, to pink and a shade of blue. These collide in a field of abstract forms and traces of figuration.
