Wilhelm Klotzek
Regionale Schattierungen der Motte, 2018
Following the path of the vanishing beauty of the moth in W.G. Sebald’s publication “Austerlitz”, Klotzek whirls around the procedures of classifying living beings into systematic categories in “Regional Shades of the Moth” from 2018. The artist deduces a different shade of the plumage of the ephemeral insect from different regional origins and conditions.
