Yvonne Zoberbier's sculptures are astonishing in their unusual processing of felt into human figures and heads, which have an aesthetic appeal all of their own. Her sculptures, consistently left in white natural wool, create a reference to the works of antiquity that have come down to us, without copying them. Rather, each work develops a […]

In total around 80,000 concentration camp prisoners and more than 100,000 prisoners of war were interned here and suffered the cruellest treatment. Hunger, deprivation, inhumane living conditions and forced labor shaped the daily lives of the prisoners. In the midst of terror and suffering, however, [...]
This unmistakable magic, when exactly the right minds come together and everything harmonizes in a wonderful way, remains the most valuable characteristic of timeless music. Such processes are usually inexplicable, as is the case with Morley. One thing is certain: The organic lightness with which her polyphonic harmony singing floats through the atmosphere is extraordinary. [...]
