Die gefangene Nachtigall

The casual encounter with a volume of Japanese haiku "Vollmond und Zikadenklänge" from the year 1956 inspired Nadja Siegl to a quiet, meditative series with compositions from color-reduced photographs, stitchery and red color accents. Reminiscent lyricism and the affinity to the aesthetic principles of the short poem with its strict form specifications, the focus on nature and seasons, the artist's own eye connects the cultures.
