Overview

The chessfields are empty. With their graphic appearance they form a dynamics. An empty chessboard awaiting players, neutral terrain. The board consists of 64 prayer¬carpets, black and white. Symbol for the inner being, faith and intuition. The one who expresses his knowledge of good and evil will win the game.

Life is becoming.
Death is being.

The pig's ears are dead. Even photographs taken at various moments do not draw the faintest trace



of becoming out of them.
