Everything is in motion in Gerd Scholze's work as well—the world in perpetual motion? God's word "For everything there is a season" collides with ironic fashion slogans such as "Already styled? Already grown old? Already burned out?"

Women play a central role: Sometimes they appear as an erotic vision, then as the impressions of mature women's bodies out of gauze which mechanically revolve around themselves as stretched out skins. Projections of heart specimens bathe the impressions in a red-violet light and show biological images of a woman's insides.

Woman—the mystery that bears human beings and arouses the curiosity of man. At birth we are thrown into a life that is full of motion, whose past we think we can recognize, but into whose future we cannot look and thus with our presence stand in twilight with regard to our cultural life history.

Eternal twilight in a single moment: now
