Farbe der Emotionen
Diplom Praxis
Prof. Gunter Reski
The practical part of my final Diplom project looks at the spheres of human emotions. The large-format works reflect the emotional ambiguity and inner confusion of the figures—between the colourful, humorous, grotesque and contrasting motifs. Particular emphasis is placed on the depiction of facial expressions and gestures, which stand out with their sweeping style and clear composition. Artists like Kees van Dongen, Grace Weaver, Nicole Eisenmann, René Gruau and Èrte as well as the nostalgic cartoons of the Fleischer Studios served as a source of inspiration for my work.







Diplom Theory
Prof. Dr. Marc Ries
The theoretical work was developed separately to my practical project, despite existing intersections. I focused on the film A Single Man by Tom Ford, from 2009. The principal analysis was to decipher and interpret the stylistic devices employed to represent emotions in a film that is, in visual terms, rather sophisticated. The alteration of colour, time and perspective, but also the intense portrayal of interpersonal relationships played a key role in this process. A Single Man concerns the inner sense of conflict a hero experiences who decides to take his own life after the death of his long-time partner, and on his last day encounters other individuals whom he perceives in a rather intense manner.
