Artist statement / about artist Artist resume News from the artist

EEG is a diagram of my brain’s function, during the period of pain in my head*.  The text written on it is by H. B. who suffers from schizophrenia** and it represents his daily record of his pain. Two different records, two different kinds of pain, flow one over the other, like a film roll and touch each other in a graphic visual form.

* Diagnosis: neuralgy of the nervus trigenimus.
A strong neuralgic pain suddenly appeared, lasted for three weeks, and then it disappeared; Cause: Unknown

** Diagnosis: hebephrene schizophrenia, a lasting illness without periods of remission; Cause: Unknown
