Achim Freyer: Love

The internationally renowned opera director, stage designer and visual artist Achim Freyer created his object Love in 1991. Stylised mask-like faces form the beginning and the end of a gigantic spiral that conveys the total merging of self and other, buoyed by an intense feeling of fellowship. But at the same time it shows the impossibility of escape – as indicated by the demonic horns on one of the masks. The work in its entirety reveals the blessings and curses that are love.
