Talk with Dr. Kornelia Röder, art historian and curator, with Holger Stark on 14.06.2025 at 5 pm
Holger Stark, born in Rostock in 1960, has lived and worked in Klein Warin/ Mecklenburg since 2001. His artistic focus is on installations and photography, which he understands as a means of artistic articulation and a form of perceiving reality. He graduated from the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts in 1990 with a diploma in painting/graphics and went on to study at the Hamburg Academy of Art (90-91) and the Royal College of Art in London (93-94).
For his mural in the Røyal Bakery, Stark experimented in his studio with the rapidly changing mass of a ten-kilo yeast dough. He documented the metamorphosis of the initially soft and difficult to grasp mass, which he later managed to tame, in a series of photographs. On the art wall in the royal bakery, the artist displays a photo from this series, which captures the traces of the dough’s transformation, as a framed object.
“Practised holding my breath for a long time. Graze the seabed with my back and fix my eyes on the dented bottom of the life raft floating on the waves. That’s my work.”
