telepathy series (new york, may 1992)

past. present. future are accessible to us - we can connect ourselves with different events in time - things which we have experienced in a former existence or things which are going on in the lives of other individuals - we have access to everything, therefore, our choice is essentially important - i focus my attention on a subject and immediately perceive the specific energy, circumstances and conditions surrounding this subject - i instantly live the momentum and 'it' flows through me

widening of our material existence into other dimensions - all existing things are multidimensional - there is no separation - one is in all - all is in one - absolute principles exist - these principles are our existence - there is a flow between all - energy or consciousness is reachable from all the different dimensions - energy is flowing through man

once i was black series (new york, april & may1992)

the arrogance of the white people towards the black people can be so strong
- as a black person you can almost not bear it any more to try to fit in with all your strength and control your vitality day by day and still not being accepted - still being treated like a less significant person in comparison to a white man only because you are black - the day of the riot in los angeles - april 29-30, 1992 after the judgement in the king trial brought on purpose to a completely white neighborhood to avoid the prosecution of the white police officers. the more we understand the harmony system, the more we know that we all depend on each other. the rioting cannot be simply dismissed. there are social needs and urges wich have to be faced. the question for reason and destination of human existence has to be addressed (4-1992)
multipanel painting with 8 handwritten texts affixed to the canvas

each individual belongs to a specific racial group
and therefore lives actively in this momentary existence the specificities of his or her race. the different races have their specific racial group karma into which the individuals are born. we all have chosen to be born in one specific family with one set of parents which makes it possible for us to live and experience what we planned before we were born. we choose our parents - we choose the moment of birth and its circumstances as well as the conditions under which we do live
(5-1992)
canvas mounted on a counter-clockwise rotating motor with slides of different cultures being projected onto the white center area

once i was black - this enables me to profoundly feel like or as a black person - the sadness, unhappiness, vitality, but also despair and heaviness, which i do feel, indicate that my black existence must have been very difficult to live through - the suppression was so strong that even the understandable rage about this dependence has not been lived - nobody almost nobody understood that to be black did not mean to be inferior (5-1992)
2 handwritten texts affixed to canvas

due to the volume of the oeuvre of Lilo Kinne, the retrospective allows only a limited amount of works of art to be presented to the public. the period from which works are shown and could be presented adequately in their context within series, encompasses therefore only a brief period.

within the past 25 years of the creative life of the artist, more than 1,000 works on paper and canvas alone have been created. the complete oeuvre includes many more works: canvases, works on paper, sculptures, photographs, photo & print editions, multimedia installations, handwritten texts, art audios / videos / cd's.

this retrospective focuses primarily on the works on canvas, and few installations are shown. the retrospective of Lilo Kinne's work is available on cd, which can be viewed on both PC / MAC operating systems.

the multidimensional art performances of Lilo Kinne are also available on cd.

_______________________________________________________________

all series of paintings are listed with their names, places and dates of execution, as well as their mediums and dimensions. works which are of essential importance within the creation of Lilo Kinne's oeuvres have been placed into the book LILO KINNE - MULTIDIMENSIONAL ART and in exhibitions.

therefore, these works have individual pages assigned to them, where you can find more information on these specific works. under the listing of each series, you will find the respective works, which were created within the series, with their individual title, below the listed series.

since not all paintings are archived with their respective images yet, only the ones with their images uploaded appear as links.

due to the work involved in uploading the images and texts, this section, as well as other sections, will expand as the works of art of different nature such as paintings, installations, audios, videos, performances, etc., will be reverse chronologically placed online.

for reference of their complete texts, and other data such as exact place and more detailed date of execution, as well as their dimensions, please click on their link and the link to the listing of their series. the page of each series will show all data, as well as indicate any special circumstances under which the works of the series were created.

thought series II (new york, march 1992)

konflikt in dem ich mich bewege / befinde - suche nach der spezifisch besten loesung des konfliktes - auswahl der richtigen alternative fuer die schaffung meiner zukunft - i will stay here in new york (3-1992)
translation: conflict in which i move / find myself - search for the specific best solution of the conflict - choice of the best alternative for the creation of my future - i will stay here in new york

konfusion der gedanken - unterschiedlicher realitaeten - geschaffen durch spezifische gedanken, durchleben der wahrscheinlichkeiten jenseits von zeit und raum - ausdruck der qual in der ich mich befinde - durchdenken von wahrscheinlichkeiten, die jeweils ganz spezifische klar definierte zukuenfte / realitaeten darstellen / kreieren - meine wahl / auswahl bestimmt definitiv meine zukuenftigen erlebnisse / zustaende, meine welt (3-1992)
translation: confusion of thoughts - different realities - created through specific thoughts, living through probabilities beyond time and space - expression of the torment in which i find myself / thinking through of probabilities, which constitute / create very specific clearly defined futures / realities - my choice decides definitely on my future experiences / conditions, my world

we think thoughts over and over again - we don't seem to choose them, but we did make the original choice consciously or unconsciously - we 'out-picture' our inner thoughts and beliefs perfectly - things which happen to us are a mirror of our own thinking - realisation in der materie - materialisation (3-1992)

each one of us exists and acts in different dimensions - most of us do not allow the conscious flow between the different planes of existences. man exists the same time, the same moment in all dimensions (3-1992)

harmony is a balance between the single participating factors in the different fields - the material plane and other dimensions are equally involved - multidimensionality
(3-1992)

the quality of death - difference of experiences during lifetimes - transcendence of the fear of death - our sleep: a brief sample / encounter with death - our true nature is multidimensional - we simply move into another dimension (12-1991)

the worldly power did not allow the belief in the positive essence of death - throughout the centuries the mighty never wished for the people to know - for this belief i died burned by the fire to death - my life in the middle ages (12-1991)

we choose our parents - our conditions of life / lives - we choose our moment of birth and the moment and the conditions under which we do die (12-1991)

a violent death more difficult to face - a peaceful death corresponding to our true soul nature - paradoxon - life has more depth through death - the strong impact which death has on our lives (12-1991)
