Nobel Prize winner Herta Müller (born August 17, 1953 in Nitzkydorf, Romania) is a Romanian-German writer who grew up in the Romanian Banat and emigrated to Germany in 1987. In her works, Müller addresses the consequences of the communist dictatorship in Romania. Herta Müller is a great collector of words. For years, she has been hoarding old newspapers, magazines and advertising brochures, cutting out words and letters from them and then gluing them together to create postcard-sized works of art.Her books such as “Die blassen Herren mit Mokkatassen”, “Vater telefoniert mitden Fliegen” and “Im Heimweh ist ein blauer Saal” … etc. continue the collection:surprising text images full of magic and riddles. Pure poetry. In this workshop, we will physically cut out the letters, words and images from newspapers, magazines and advertising brochures to create new texts using the collage technique. We will deconstruct the established text and try to achieve alternative poetic meanings. The objective is to articulate personal feelings, experiences, and life trajectories, within the realm of a feminist creative space. The workshop guides the participants through the intricacies of Müller’scollage craftsmanship, empowering them to express themselves. Embracing a synthesis of diverse media, including textual and visual elements, one can achieve versatile results.
