Description
The word „photoptosis“ is Greek, meaning roughly „incidence of light“. In the Prélude, this process refers to the changes of colour occurring by the way the light comes in: here in the field of tone colours in the broadest sense. The inspiration behind this composition was the monochrome wall areas of the foyer at the Musiktheater im Revier, Gelsenkirchen decorated by Yves Klein. Bernd Alois Zimmermann
