TEXT - NeuesMemo

taking notes

2015 I discovered an app for taking notes in my phone.
Since then I have been drawing on the mobile phone screen while I am thinking.

What do these drawings reveal? The matters that I think of? Are these the thoughts that take shape in the drawings? The emotions? Or are these the various ways to sort and arrange thoughts that become visible?

While drawing, I do not think about these questions. I deal with one topic or with many at once, with everyday things or with global matters, think back and forth, or the thoughts flow semi formulated somewhere in the background. I draw, thenI flap the phone, stand up, leave the bus and hurry on.

Reviewing the pictures later, I can no longer remember what subject occupied me during I was working on some particular drawing; neither I can recollect the context of what was happening nor my mood or feelings. In a certain way, these drawings occur to me always new and surprising. In the end, I can only deal with the formal aspects of the signs or enjoy the aesthetic experience.

The memory of what had happened, had been thought and felt however has vanished. I see what all see: a collection of lines, forms and structures. Literally, I overwrote the issues that concerned me with these records. My phone called each note by default "NeuesMemo" and set the date of record in the file name.

Hundreds of digital memories printed on transparencies are piled up on top of each other.
The drawing series "NeuesMemo" is dedicated to overwriting (of the memory).
