The exterminator referred to here does not belong to the professional group of destroyers of unwelcome small creatures, who can be reached on 030/6634065,
but is rather a metaphor. He is on a hunt in space and is interested in the various appearances of the things and beings he lies in wait for.
He does not exterminate, but rather builds up an image of the fascination of an insect wing or a chitin-covered beetle shell. He is, as it were, a collector who searches for subtle secrets under stones and treats them like trophies.
Michael Schulze 1985/86
The insect-like embodies both threat and fascination—it stands for decay, grief, and dissolution, but also for the dream of flying, for freedom and transcendence.
Das Insektenhafte verkörpert dabei zugleich Bedrohung und Faszination – es steht für Verfall, Trauer und Auflösung, aber auch für den Traum vom Fliegen, für Freiheit und Transzendenz.
The result is a complex body of work that intertwines nature, technology, and myth, and reexamines humanity in the mirror of the unfamiliar.
