Descriere Christoph Loos

Christoph Loos has become known in recent years for his radical and completely new approach to the woodcut. His works, which are sometimes executed in monumental formats, astound viewers with their conceptual clarity and their extremely sensual quality. In his hands, the tree is a metaphor for memory and the passage of time, which allows his audience to experience the duality of outer casing and core, inside and outside, life and death. After the tree trunks have been opened, actors enter into a short-lived and unusual union with the trees by putting their heads or arms into these openings.
