With the work of the HALLER KÖPFE, Brigitte Windt remains true to her line and continues the correspondence between you and I and I and you. However, fascinated and inspired by the works created in 1992-1993 and the portraits published in the “Female” catalog by the great artist Marlene Dumas, she dares to pay homage to the same. With decisive brushstrokes, Brigitte Windt draws clear contours and contrasts, fills the page up to the edge with ink or emptiness and breathes presence and liveliness into the faces. They immediately meet those viewing them at eye level, let their gaze rest on them or suggest dialogues. Each one an invitation to a dialogue. The HALLER HEADS are exhibited in the original in the WERKSCHAU 125 sheets from September 29th, 2023 - November 1st, 2023. See also the series INTO THE FACE and FROM FACE TO FACE. The HALLER HEADS series is a further stop in the annual project 303 and, as here, lets their faces do the talking.

Meeting Mascha Kaléko again - Brigitte Windt 2023 The strongest characteristic is deep concern. There are associations with eternal wandering, being torn, loneliness, homelessness, uprooting, the art of survival, pragmatism and fate. I meet the experienced in this volume. Those who refuse to complain and those who complain poetically. The Loser. of those who suffer in pain. The Pragmatic Strategic Survivor. Where the focus is, there is life. And if you feel life, it holds you. Carry it on to the next breath. Meet the loving, the following of the beloved, the speaking, the longing and the speechless. Watch a self-holding woman write. One who maintains interpersonal connections, one who corresponds, one who hopes, until it becomes quiet around the eternally youthful, mature, seductive, who carries life with all suffering and all joy.

THE OTHERS Faces are fascinating. Questioning, speaking looks. Moving around in a wordless, interactive way. The artist gladly accepts the invitation. She looks, feels, responds with lines, sometimes with surface and color, surreally daring. The line remains, wanders hand in hand with the pen across the page until the faces of the others look out from the page...
