Linde Ivimey's exhibition is amazing. The sculptures are made of different bones. During the gallery tour I felt a lot of impressions and especially the sculpture "The Thumper" spark different thoughts off. The sculpture with the butterfly symbolized for me innocent and peace. The poem of Friedrich Freiherr von Hardenberg came into my mind.
Butterflies
by Friedrich Freiherr von Hardenberg
Who
hears butterflies laughing; this one knows how clouds are taste.
This one
will explore the night in moonshine without fear.
…this
one, who becomes a plant, if he wants. To an animal, to a fool, to a philosopher.
And he
can travel through the world in one hour.
… this
one, who knows, that he nothing knows, how everybody else also nothing knows,
Only he
knows, what the others, and he has to learn.
… this
one, who feels themselves in foreign bank and has the courage to stretch
themselves;
This one
will gradually explore itself, without fear.
Down to
the tops of himself he looks up.
He takes
the fight with his underworld on left.
… this
one, who is in peace with himself, will die in peace
And is
even more alive than any of his heirs.
