FRIEDRICH KUNATH – LIVE FOREVER
2019-09-16On nature’s comic indifference towards the human condition.
Drifters stranded on these landscapes connected by one singular horizon, balancing as though on a tightrope.
Balancing as ever between happy and sad, heaven and hell, silly and serious, history and the burden of it.
Idiocies of popular culture and the pathos of philosophy, the ambiguity of our existence.
The California sun is all I had for breakfast, and it sure did burn my mind…
Is the problem that we can’t see, or is it that the problem is beautiful to me?
These drifters are bit actors from a recurring cast. Homeless, although they are home.
Homelessness is the mission, being found is the game…I waited for you, but I never told you where I was.
The search for meaning and happiness and for cats to pet in a dirty alley on a rainy day when you’ve had too much and the weight seems insurmountable.
The end of all wanting is all that I wanted. The horizon just laughed back.
From his precipitous rise in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Friedrich Kunath has been making art that beautifully and lyrically combines the experience of the ordinary with the sublime.
