Intervention Donald Jacob
Intervention „into the silence“ (1999)
Stille als Raum der Rebellion. Lausche dem Schweigen – es schreit lauter als jedes Wort.
Interventionen von Donald Jacob sind künstlerische Aktionen, die Räume für Reflexion und Auseinandersetzung mit ökologischen und gesellschaftlichen Themen schaffen. Sie laden dazu ein, das Verhältnis zwischen Mensch und Umwelt neu zu erfahren und bewusst wahrzunehmen.
