Central as subject and centered in the exhibition: the Little Mermaid. In the foreground is the experience of the sea, the beach, the waves, seagulls and a cute draped Barbie in the role of the very young woman with the fishtail.
The fairy tale by H.C. Andersen is in a complete version in German and Danish in a beach bag. The reading material is accompanied by reads about Barbara Millicent Roberts and her parents, the Mattel's.
The mermaid herself is additionally exposed in large sized photos. The installation also includes a
Soundcollage by Slawo.
Even if this is a very representative arrangement at first glance, in its entirety this chapter is just as abstract as the four others in this exhibition. No systemcritical, moralizing or other statement is given here. Everyone is supposed to see what he is able to see due to his experiences.

These paintings and objects were shown as the chapter "Die kleine Meerjungfrau / The Little Mermaid":
curated by Stephan Reichmann & Slawomir Cap (info@stephanreichmann.com), Wassergalerie Berlin (Deutschland / Germany)
In our first joint exhibition we have made the element water visible and audible from its poetic side.
In the focus has been the five chapters „At the Pond“, „The Little Mermaid“, „Mountain Stream - Spring run-off“, „Lily Pond“ and a large „Snowscape“.
Especially for this show Slawo has produced three sound collages.
We have combined the main topics with a Wunderkammer, a cloud-installation and an oversized photo album.
