SYNOPSIS

The impressive aspect in ›Kugelkopf‹ is the violence and the tenacious effort with which the head produces its text. After it is freed from the disturbing protective cover, the hair, signs bleed out of the wounds. The only medium which is used for printing is the thick layer of rough gauze cloth of the bandages. Not knowing where and what is printed, the signs are set blindly on a sheet of glass. The composition of the signs is determined by the chance of mechanical movement, merging into a dark indistinguishable surface. (Heike Klippel)
