Spring Dream
Fabian Kochendoerfer
Fabian studied philosophy and art history from 1997 till 1999 in Tuebingen, Germany. He studied with Prof. Diedrich Diederichsen art and design at the Merz Academy in Stuttgart and graduated with Diploma and with Master of Arts from the University of Portsmouth in 2005.
He is producing polaroid art since the year 2000. He manually manipulates the polaroids in his own original style I invented and developed over 20 years now.
He lives and works in Berlin Neukölln since 2009 as an artist.
Fabian says:
“In search for the truth and what’s real I scratch the surface and find out there is “nothing” behind it. Now I want to peel the skin off reality - exhibit the matrix - to show that the world is only an illusion.”
“The universe has beauty in abundance and consciousness to witness it. My art is trying to show you and remind you of that.”
“The world is only an illusion. Life is a dream. Wake up!”

entry description
Nature - especially in the spring - has always been a source of inspiration for my art. I feel connected to life and to the beauty of the universe. I see and feel the innocent and peaceful nature of life - of existence itself. This deep beauty has a stillness to it. The truth is silence. I can see and feel this silence when being in nature. I absorb it and it absorbs me. There is this feeling of oneness with nature - oneness with everything. This oneness makes me feel at home. It makes me feel sane and alive - like I am in the right place where I belong. I stop internally. My mind stops or quiets down. There is no more need to go anywhere - to be some place else - to be someone else. There is full acceptance in the present moment - exactly like it is. No complaining. No wishing it would be better or different.about the photographer
