Escapes - Ivonne Dippmann

More about the book

The publication "ESCAPES" features a collection of drawings, texts, and textile works created by Ivonne Dippmann during her seven years in Tel Aviv, Israel. While primarily focused on drawing, her artistic exploration extends beyond paper. This collection documents her creative process as she transitions from Tel Aviv back to Berlin. Each series or edition is inspired by written works that capture observations of her surroundings, including movement, color, shape, and emotion. Starting from literary content, each series reconstructs a specific time frame, allowing the development of drawings to remain fluid and open. Typically comprising 40 to 100 drawings, each cycle is meticulously numbered and composed, ensuring that each piece connects with the previous one. An introductory text titled "Recommendations" by Israeli poet and activist Roy Chick Arad sets the tone for Dippmann's work environment. Arad offers a series of quirky recommendations, such as avoiding love, enjoying pickled herring, reading Tolstoy's biography, sleeping in socks, and creating emotional or danceable art. These suggestions reflect a blend of humor and insight, enriching the context of Dippmann's artistic journey.
