(featured)03: Gurkengeschichte
Die Akte 'Gurke' / Drawing on architecture and photography, artist Iwert Bernakiewicz looks at the world around him with a sense of wonder. In his visual art, he creates parallel worlds that pique our curiosity and invite us to view our surroundings with fresh eyes. He deliberately seeks out the mysterious and the inexplicable. He scours rubbish bins and collects objects that others regard as worthless or discarded. Apparently having escaped from a laboratory, the Gherkin suddenly and unexpectedly takes on a prominent leading role. But how did the Gherkin Man come into being? Did the first Gherkin come from outer space? How, in one way or another, was a human transformed into a Gherkin Man? All these fascinating uncertainties lead to { The ‘Gherkin’ Files }.
