Statement

Beyond
rhythm – movement – interval
continuity and transformation
a bridge between the preceding and the upcoming
 
Beyond as a vastness that goes further than the momentary horizon. As a path towards the surprising and yet-to-be-explored – there is what does not exist yet and what I do not know yet. Always open and beyond perceptions and expectations.


/ Margit Hart 2022


Horizons
Horizons of memories arrange themselves in new ways. For me, the term horizon implies vastness, space, openness, the discovery of unknown territory from a constantly changing point of view and the process of observing and transforming. Horizons connect landscapes and human beings as well as points of opposition.
Furthermore encounters, looking forward and looking back are connected to this term
.
