Birds

These intimate works in large formats surely leave no one cold. Zwei Deer (Two Deer) (2018): In reality just one in a double exposure that ghostly echoes or fades away (death – the echo of life?), first it was laid under a larch ceremoniously mourning with its needles trickling down and a yew tree tossing its red berries (burial objects?). Even a sparrow (“it probably flew against a window pane”) receives its devotion: Vogelkehle II (Bird Throat II) (1998). And what if Seyler lays her Blauwurz coloured hands on his portrait, is it an attempt to understand death? Obviously she has no fear of contact in this regard, as death is a product of nature like all life.
