About this artwork
Hölderlin's great unrequited love was the mother of one of his students. One of his most beautiful poems was dedicated to her, and her death profoundly shattered his mental clarity. He spent the second half of his life in the famous Hölderlin Tower on the verdant banks of the Neckar River.
The "Diary" series was created in the spring of 2018 in Tenerife. During two consecutive stays, a page was created daily, containing meditations on the waves… of the sea. The subject was not seen with the physical eye, but from within.

« Max Frei brings the memory of things into play. Things pick up the events in which they participate. Difficult enough to learn about it from animals or plants, but from things? Why not? Humans invented smoke signals, speaking clouds. Characters carved in stone. Learned to read tracks. And don't we talk every day to the devices that we invented to be in contact with the whole world? So why not ask the clouds or the river. The river whose waves are complex mirrors. The clouds that are like thoughts, constantly changing, incomprehensibly diverse. »
