From the press release: I am taking part in the #machdeinkreuz campaign because I want to use my picture to give others the opportunity to take a stand for a life of solidarity. I find the campaign relevant because it encourages people to exercise their right to vote. As part of a generation that was able to benefit from the change and the ideals of the European idea, I want a liberal and cosmopolitan Saxony.

The poster image entitled “The Way” is from my photographic work entitled “Gestures” published in 2009 and shows a scene in which one person carries another. It is based on the myth of Aeneas and was shot by me in one of the outskirts of the city of Tunis in Tunisia, a year before the protests that became known as the Arab Spring.

In the spring of this year, a conference proceedings entitled Mend, Blend, Attend: Advancing Artistic Research was published as part of the 13th SAR International Conference on Artistic Research with my text Field Work – Making Kin between the Primate, the Researcher and the Artist.

In the one-day workshop, participants will use photographic contact exposure processes such as cyanotype and deal with the topic of still life and sustainability. To do this, the workshop goes on a search for traces of the magical and meaningful objects of the art producers and art educators at the spinning mill. What are art-related objects? Which things have a long-lasting and therefore sustainable value as sources of spiritual inspiration? The common goal is to bring together an auratic collection of objects, which will be preserved in the form of photograms and encourage reflection on a sustainable art experience. The process-based work and changing of exhibition objects and their constellations is a tried-and-tested approach in Mathias’ artistic research process, which moves at the interface of art and science.

To do this, Mathias often uses methods from field research and observational ethnography.
