SALONS
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE – THE IMPACT OF LITERATURE ON ART
3 December 2023, Berlin — with Christopher Winter
Christopher's art work has always been influenced by literature from very early paintings that concerned themselves with "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by Shakespeare. His fascination for novels like "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll and "1Q84" by Haruki Murakami – both wonderful surrealist works – have led him to also start writing. At the Salon, he will read a chapter from his first novel "Olli Bankes and the Cloud Crows of Berlin". It is set in Berlin in 2016 but the characters fall into a fantasy world that coexists with ours.
Once again, Chris and I came together around the Advent time. In 2015 we built his amazing Gingerbread house at Satellite Berlin.
