The contribution for Dose Magazine #11, which appears in a vibrant Pantone red, comprises of three spreads and a video sketch. By employing a simple collage, one can discover associations circling the moon, as the lunar surface, a prehistoric calendar, and a mathematical sequence of its rhythm. One can also see a video still of the moon rising while setting on Portugal’s west coast and the lyrics of the popular German song called ‘Abendlied / Der Mond ist aufgegangen’ by Matthias Claudius (1779). One is invited to listen to waves, wind and the bits of the song, sent to the artist via voice messages by friends, colleagues and family members. A lullaby, passed on from generation to generation to share peace and comfort, a gentle reminder of a peaceful moment in time, with mist rising from the meadows- or over the sea – into a peaceful night.
