Volker Gerling live: “Bilder lernen laufen, indem man sie herumträgt”
(Pictures learn to walk by being carried around) –
the stage show
His stage show “Bilder lernen laufen, indem man sie herumträgt” (Pictures learn to walk by being carried around) has already been invited to art and theatre festivals in 30 countries on four continents, and it won the renowned Total Theatre Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2015.
On the stage the artist thumbs the pages of his flipbooks under a video camera, projects the images onto a large screen and tells the stories of the people in his photographs. His shows are imbued with a light and yet profound reflection on the fleeting moment and the meaning of human encounters.

Dialogue guided tour: Bishop Hermann Glettler in conversation with Hans-Joachim Gögl
Volker Gerling’s works arise from his ramblings, which he undertakes for weeks on end and without money, trusting that he will meet people and relying on their hospitality. Is it an act of contemporary spirituality that transcends all religions and doctrines? How does a theologian and art historian view this artistic position? Hermann Glettler is the bishop of the Diocese of Innsbruck and is himself also an artist and curator.
