Fictional character
The work "Wie kommt man zur Kunst" is a narrative installation consisting of a video and fictitious and actual contemporary documents. It is an examination of the Swiss sculptor Hermann Haller (1880-1950) that goes beyond an approach to Haller's life's work and artistic position by means of the artistic figure Doris Borngräber, a fictitious journalist. The fictional character makes it possible to encounter the long-dead sculptor once again and to confront a romantic view of the artist and the world with the present. The emancipated Borngräber scratches Haller's closed and idealized image of women and shakes up Haller's universe.
As far as political events are concerned, Haller's reality of beauty, ideals and healing seems to be confirmed once again over half a century after his time. While wars were raging outside Switzerland's borders, people were fleeing and terror was spreading, there was a good chance that a cable car would cross Lake Zurich for a second time after the 1939 National Exhibition.
