Thomas Riess  - Wonderland

In the comprehensive monograph Wonderland, artist Thomas Riess presents his works from the last seven years. Riess, who works primarily in the media of painting and video, deals intensively with the complex themes of time and reality. His works show mystical landscapes, floating abstract forms and dissolving figures – everything seems to oscillate between being and appearance, reality and illusion, event and memory. His art often focuses on people in a society flooded with media. Faces that are often altered beyond recognition confront viewers with fundamental questions about individuality and authenticity. Riess's paintings and video works are not only aesthetically appealing, but also unsettling and challenging. They remind us of our own transience and are dedicated to existence as a constant flow of the fleeting.

The 90 minutes include dynamic, mindful and natural movement sequences. Meditation and mindfulness techniques are further building blocks on which I base the yoga class. My goal is to create a holistic sense of well-being within you. I want to offer you a space where you can calm your inner turmoil and have the opportunity to feel a loving connection.

What to bring: Yoga mat, blanket and comfortable clothing.

I look forward to seeing you! Ursula
