Installation delusion: Amazon’s not to blame for everything – THE WORLD

Four meters large, colorful wooden figures currently attract the attention of motorists and hikers between Hameln and Bad Pyrmont. “The letters viewfinder”, built like stick figures, standing in fields, along roads, buildings and barn doors. Creator of the land art installation is the artist Hans Witte.

“The figures symbolize the search for letters, after proper records, according to the correct language and in the broadest sense according to the communication, “says Witte. As a college teacher of German and art he has studied writing and creativity. Communication legally nowadays often difficult and unsuccessful, Witte, the letters finder could find no letters.



Where have all the letters out

Now is well known, anyone who seeks. It all depends on where and how. Are letters seekers, free after Sachensucherin Pippi Longstocking, well advised, if they scratch around in text near climes. You can hang around at newsagents, and if there are no beautiful letters – the note with four letters in the word letters following – pick up the book, instead of rigid than letters in the countryside on motorists and walkers

books there has been in Hameln and Bad Pyrmont, you met them in bookstores, educational institutions and private households. Where have they gone? Amazon has delivered so much delayed in the Weser mountain country that the stocks have shrunk away?



Maybe in the bag of alphabet soup?

Do not worry. The resourceful letters seeker engages in the supermarket on a product and after reading what it says. Large and small print. Well, proper rates can be found there often and of course the noodle pack also not responding. Unless it is alphabet soup.

But the question is, while letters flounder and be devoured by knowledge hungry, the feast, what “correct language” is. Probably the opposite of false. Language about that fooling us an A for an O or no X for a U. Frei by Adorno: “There is no right in the wrong language.”



A symbol of the crumbling Communication

Letters viewfinder speechless. In other words, I have no words, but not the letters. Not many people carry around an alphabet in my head? Are the Hamelin wood heads symbolic of the scattered and dilapidated communication between Germany and art classes, which was exposed to long Hans Witte? Irrelevant.

The literal considerations suggest that it is a local problem. Either the letter catcher of Hameln made a train through the town, because the children and rats was boring. Or the letters are at the spa in Bad Pyrmont, bored themselves and then come thick and round again. Then Hans Witte may soon inspired by Hollywood rooms one Hameln lettering on the Kahlenberg.
