the secret – mazy stories

The secret – mazy stories – mysterious pictures in black and white by Peter Walther Gartmann

Dreams – nocturnal pictures and feelings seem to lead us into our deepest innermost being – fantasy and reality blur. The secret of the mysterious.

The secret of the mysterious – bringing about situations where wonders materialize in the dreams. This picture series was inspired by David Lynch, who often works with pictures one can only approach intuitively.

The secret of the mysterious.

“The secret of life is beautiful. But secrets have to be uncovered. We’re all detectives. As soon as it gets dark, we ask ourselves: what’s here? What’s there? We look for clues until we find something. And slowly, the world opens up. More and more understanding. More and more consciousness.”

David Lynch

“There’s so much mystery when you’re a child. We think we understand the rules when we become adults but what we really experience is a narrowing of the imagination.”

Mazy stories

Mazy stories and life’s occurrences distort, the secret of two women in the facets – black and white, day and night, good and bad, fear and love – closeness and distance – a kind of truth – they love the light and the feeling of freedom – in a screaming world out of whack – nobody knows what the future holds.

A gloomy secret, so mysterious – fear of the fact that life is actually pointless – the uncertainty?

The secret for the observer who doesn’t know how it came into being – movement in time, night, and light – turning point in a dark life.

Always looking for the truth – somehow standing right in front of it before we understand – not knowing where the journey takes us – entering into a secret – uncertainty in a surrealistic inferno – to be confronted with the repressed dark sides – meaningless floating in an abysmal swirl.

Pictures which leave a Kafkaesque impression with the audience, by no means a coincidence – as if there existed this notion of being observed and being the observer.

Pictures of one world make a way to a different reality – in the darkness of a distorted maze – like getting lost in an artificially designed garden with no exits?

Countless stories emerge from the individual’s desire to recover the paradise lost and recreate it.
