Tagebuch eines Ausserirdischen - (Diary of an extraterrestrial identity) - This diary shows a visual report on our planet Earth and her inhabitants. On his flight through time and space an extraterrestrial traveller passes by the Earth by accident. He observes this planet for a while and then continues his journey. He has no intention to contact someone and to declare himself openly. Science-fiction? Maybe it is, still it seems impossible. Is there, by any chance, a possibility for someone having been here from somewhere ‘out there’? Is it possible that we haven’t got any idea about this visit? In fact, it is of rather high probability not to recognize any visitation. Let us assume a development of some civilization somewhere out there, at some tiny spot in the vast infinity of space. Let us assume some evolution leading to a civilization during the billions of years which have past since the origin of universe. In case all of this really took place – there is almost zero evidence and zero probability to meet ‘them’ or for them to meet ‘us’ right now, for the window of time we are living in and developed knowledge and capability to recognize and realize any visitor is extremely small. Many different sorts and features of life can be imagined. Still communication is quite another thing. Communication requires a minimum of similarity. Even though all living things on earth are bounded together by the chain of life and similarity between them is given in a wide range, communication between human beings and for instance a monkey or a dog is a hard nut to crack. Every possible realization of life which wants to get in touch and communicate to us, at least has to be receptive to visual and acoustic signals. A deaf and blindfolded extraterrestrial creature looking like an energy bundle of transparent fluidity would have visited the earth and parted from our home without any trace or contact. Should we find some creatures on a foreign planet which look alike grit and are capable of telepathy, we would probably take some ‘rock-test’ with us. Consequently one can not go so far to call this a contact. Series of 12 Pictures, Original Size: 70x140 cm, C-Prints.
