  • Sibylle Fendt · Exhibition in Riga/Latvia
    10.12.2010 | OSTKREUZ | Books/Exhibitions

    In the group exhibition "Body" Sibylle Fendt shows excerpts from her work "Facing Breast Cancer".
    The exhibition deals with the interpretation of the body from two distinct perspectives: from the perspective of the artist as well as from the perspective of the person being photographed. The body is first and foremost part of the reality of every human being. Thus, the definition of the body for oneself and for other has essential importance.

  • Miscellaneous - Sibylle Fendt - "Gärtners Reise" [Gaertners Journey]

    07.12.2010 | Christoph Wilde | Videos

    In late summer 2008 Sibylle Fendt accompanied the couple Lothar and Elke Gärtner on their trip through the Baltic states for 5 weeks. Two years before Elke had come down with Alzheimer's disease. Elke and Lothar had been travelling Europe with their caravan all their lives and they wanted to dare a last big voyage. Their trip started in Eppingen, Southern Germany (the native place of the couple), they went on to Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. From there they went on by bus to Saint Petersburg, Russia and all the way back. The trip symbolizes a journey into unknown terrain in a twofold meaning.

    Unfortunately the Essay is only in German.
