Holger Endres will paint in an alternating sequence first a vertical black line and then a vertical white line on the walls primed in magenta. In a working process expected to last 45 hours, the 36m long, 2.80m high walls to be painted will be transformed into a forum for enquiry into the meaning of life, for the interplay between space and time, life and death, joy and mourning.
Commencing at the upper edge of the painting surface, Endres will draw his lines freehand allowing them to run into the magenta. A small interstitial space will be created between the black lines and the white lines, so that they do not meet one another. His body will be entirely focused on painting the lines.
At the end of each day, Holger Endres will encapsulate its essence on a small canvas. Five works will be produced, capturing the energy and will power of the day, ensuring the continued existence of the ephemeral mural painting.
