The discussion of the subject can take place in a variety of ways, whether it is using the fragments of stone, such as Maike Barteldres or Kirsten Grünebaum. In the works of Fabiana Gadano and Gabriele Hinze, the object trouve and recycled materials play the central role. Quotes from the artificial and natural world can be found at Nicole Schuster's work. In her new pieces, Ariane Hartmann uses stamped and rolled collection pieces to combine them with enameled photographs.

Andrea Schmidt's chain strings are like sequences of individual fragments. The goldsmith's craft is used with great skill in every work and makes every applied art work unique.

The exhibition Fragments shows not only jewelery but also objects and photographs. Anne Hein presents in "The Journey of Nut" a group of walnut-shaped glass object halves on which old photographs have been burnt.

The Hagen born Kerstin Hesse shows 12 fragmentary photographs with over-exposure and blurred motion sequences.
For the second time, two readings of the Litera group will take place during the vernissage. They all have written texts especially for the exhibition which they will also summarize in a book titled: Fragments.
