About the series
When travelling to London for a father and son trip due to his 16th birthday we had to commute to Gatwick airport. The train was kind of slow and my son in an intermediate state after enjoying London and its highlights. So I took my Iphone and shot this panorama pictures. Due to the movement great effects came into the pictures. They reminded me on the rakel technique used by Gerhard Richter for some of his paintings.

creative process – making of the artwork shooting back
The original artwork was inspired by water waves. Created in summer 2017 after a peaceful swim in the nearby lake Steinsee. In an atelier session, the tears were added and recorded as a video installation.
In October 2017 in a shooting in Las Vegas more than 50 people were killed and a good friend of mine died a few days after. This all filled me with anger and sadness. So in an atelier session, the tears were added and doing this the video installation “the shooting back” was recorded.
On the next day, looking at the white tears and symetry you see in the video the work still wasn’t finished. Decided to add the anger and chaos, which was put over the emotional layer of sadness.
As the shooting and violence around this planet came to a level which is not to tolerate anymore
in my sadness I started to make a little artwork ( 200cm x 80 cm) called shooting back.
With white color in the middle of the creation process white tears ran down the canvass.
This experiment was captured on a video with a long player of Leonhard Cohen, hanging up and starting all by itself.
Current exhibition in Munich Startup scene
The original is now exhibited in “The Lab” in the Werksviertel am Ostbahnhof, A new cultural innovation area, where artist and start ups and regular businesses come together in a very alive area in munich.
It is placed in the innovation Laboratory of the Munich RE group – as the artist himself combines the art of making artwork and innovative software as an IT architect and agile coach.
The artwork was combined whith a more peacful work called “content – zufrieden” and were placed in a room called Hauptstrasse in the LAB.

In January 2017 the artist Björn Nonhoff took his recent work and combined themin the rooms of the Kunstverein Ebersberg. A lot of people came and we had some great time, talking, looking, danying, enjoying art and life.
Thank for all your time and love .
