Christoph Meckel
"M. Titel", 1973
About the object
Different visual planes combine to form an array of diverse narratives. The contradictory, the related, even the expansive, coalesce in the same compositional format. Eschewing a literal translation of the respective articles of the resolution, Christoph Meckel does not visually narrate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as such, but creates thirty-one ‟Bebilderungen” (illustrations) - as he calls them - concentrated into a contemporary-critical, political and human way of looking.
