Linocut, hand-colored, from the augen:falter portfolio "The other world", title "Teatrum Mundi", signed and numbered, format 100 x 70 cm (Inka Grebner is also part of this group of artists). The motif is based on Indonesian shadow play figures and symbolizes long life (turtle) and death (scythe). I became aware of the sheet in the GRASSI Museum Leipzig, Museum of Ethnology and Applied Arts (there are a number of interesting objects on the subject of turtles, see "Search: Grassi", including shadow play figures) and immediately contacted the artist. I was impressed that she spent three years in traditional costume on her journey. There is now another linocut by her. Shadow play figures with turtles can also be found in Sichuan (China) and Java (Indonesia), among other places.
