Galerie Tobias Naehring zeigt Timo Seber

Info: It has been a while since Timo Seber had a show in the Rhineland. Back in August 2013, when he had his show at the Bonner Kunstverein, it was my first week at work.

Those layers played beautifully with the disturbing subject, the death of a baby in the Australian desert allegedly by a Dingo; the texture of the fabric reflecting on the roughness of the terrain and the story; and a the fact that it was just really hard to wrap your mind around that story – if you check one of the streaming services, they might have a real crime mini series on the case (and of course there is a book).
