The mountain in my room, Dagmar I. Glausnitzer-Smith, Berlin Jerxheim, 2008.
Every image, which I select from within as it occurs in my own painting, photography, video or words has the potential of performance; the action of the moment of awareness. The absence of actuality or the presence of the imagination is the necessary dynamic for [...]
