Vortex
The painter and performance artist Helmut Schober (* 1947) is famous internationally. For some 40 years he has devoted his attention to the vortex and its trans-cultural content. Over the decades the vortex has remained a constant in his œuvre, always borne by his principal interests in representing and making light, time, space and the cosmos tangible.

description
Among the qualities attributed to the vortex are, for example, the constant cyclical continuity of life, initiated by the continuous rotation, as well as fate and fear. People feel they are subject to a power which they cannot influence. Today’s world, its conflicts, the unfair distribution of property, economic decline, the resulting fear and the unpredictability of the future – all that is brought together in the metaphor of the vortex. This attractive volume visualises the vortex in numerous illustrations, capturing the viewer in the vortex and evoking emotions.
