Yesterday Against Tomorrow
80 x 80 cm, oil on canvas, 1984

The Egyptian culture, as one of the most fascinating form creators in our existence, places the past into the present by the timeless present of its characteristic. The upper half is symbolized the representation of our future, by a strip with simple structure, for which a line chain forms and so our modern structures e.g. in the gene research the DNS, or in the computer engineering shows bit strings.

The lower half is dominated of the illustration of an Egyptian stone, in which these structures can be regained.

Equal a warning in relation to the future and the blind confidence into the technical progress, this fragment of a past powerful culture before us lies.
