When Poems Become Writing: Silvio Colditz in the Villa Rosenthal
The exhibition Word Worlds|Image Worlds presents a rare connection of poetry, calligraphy, and contemporary literature in Jena. The focus is on the calligrapher Silvio Colditz, whose works not only depict poetry but re-experience it as a visual form.
A Library of Poetry in Space
The presentation showcases calligraphic sheets, where each poem appears both as printed text and as a visual representation. This creates a literary experience that productively shifts the boundary between reading and seeing. The exhibition connects contemporary poetry with the aesthetics of handwriting and opens the view onto the materiality of language.
A Project Between Literary Magazine and Art Form
The literary magazine Die Geste, published in Dresden, forms the conceptual center of this show. The format combines current poetry with calligraphic art and gathers voices from contemporary poetry, including Olga Martynova, Jan Kuhlbrodt, Jayne-Ann Igel, Andra Schwarz, Volha Hapeyeva, Tom Bresemann, Lütfiye Güzel, Olav Amende, Bertram Reinecke, and Linn Penelope Rieger. Silvio Colditz understands these works as a library of poetry.
Villa Rosenthal as a Salon for Culture and Language
The Villa Rosenthal provides a fitting setting for this exhibition: a listed building with historical atmosphere, a park-like garden, and that quiet dignity that suits an author encounter or a contemplative exhibition particularly well. Here, literature unfolds not only in text but in space.
Reading Atmosphere, Even Without a Stage
Even though this is an exhibition, the format carries the energy of a reading within it: language becomes visible, writing art becomes image, and the contemplation of the calligraphic works generates that intimate closeness usually found only in special literary evenings. This makes the visit a culturally rich moment between artwork, poem, and reflection.
Conclusion
Word Worlds|Image Worlds is a literary-artistic event for all who want to not only read poetry but experience it with their eyes. Those who appreciate contemporary literature, writing art, and exhibition culture in a special ambiance should experience this show live in the Villa Rosenthal.
