Keep your Eye on the Planet

For »Keep Your Eye on the Planet« the challenge was to include an embroidered eye or pair of eyes in a textile work measuring 60 × 60 cm; interpreting the theme from a wide variety of
viewpoints.

113 works were submitted from 12 countries. The three jury members had the difficult task of choosing 45 to exhibit

.
Ecological aspects were the focus of many of these works, especially the ocean which
makes up two thirds of the earth’s surface. Compassion for our fellow man is ardently expressed in several submissions.

Contemplating the expressive portraits we are encouraged to take care of our planet and
treat each other with respect. Rößler-Wacker’s »Everyone should be seen through the same
eyes« embodies the appeal that we want to voice with the presentation of this wandering
exhibit.
