Das Paradies ist hier

In his nature images Frank Darius transforms the world into most delicate poetical structures. What nature really is, such is the question Darius is after. His works contend themselves with the smallest moments of living forms. Many of them show how twigs, leaves and fragile organic meshworks are nearly extirpated by snow, water and fog - and at the same time come to a higher live through this process. With his radically sincere imagery Darius makes us understand that the whole world is an inside, an inner space endlessly unfolding as a poetic process. The observer realizes: We are also deeply a part of this animated world - and at the same time the real world reveals itself as our own inside. This attitude comes to terms with the postmodern obsession with the fact that there is no "real" reality and we are always seperated and lost. Rather, we can understand reality, because we are alife. 0Exhibition: Alfred-Ehrardt-Stiftung, Berlin, Germany (23.3.-19.5.2013).
