Stillness is a State of Mind: The Silence Behind the Noise
Fabian Kochendoerfer
28 June 2024 19:00 – 30 June 2024 19:00
In the midst of the urban hustle and bustle, a hidden world of silence is revealed, an illusion that can only be perceived by those who are willing to turn their focus away from the hustle and bustle and engage with the state of mind.
This silence is not an absence of sound, but a deep calm that exists even in the midst of the loudest noise.
In our urban jungle, silence often seems like a lost art, an illusion. But if you look closely, you can discover it - the silence behind the noise. This silence can be everywhere if you are prepared to see and feel it.
The photos of butterflies that I present symbolize this silence in a unique way.
Butterflies, delicate creatures that dance silently through the air, become our messengers of stillness. They represent not only the lightness of the moment, but also transformation and the awakening of consciousness.
The butterfly can elevate a fleeting moment to eternity.
"Stillness is a state of mind." (Fabian Kochendoerfer) These words remind us that stillness is not an external place, but a state of mind.
It exists not only in the remote corners of nature, but also in the vibrant streets of the city, if you are willing to recognize it.
The butterflies show us that even in the urban hustle and bustle, there is a space for stillness if we allow ourselves to do so.
When we consciously engage with the fleeting moment, when we focus on the silence behind the noise, we experience a precious moment that connects us to eternity.
This is my contribution to this festival on Urban Silence - an invitation that reminds us that silence can be everywhere if we discover it in our minds.
My instant film photography art illustrates the butterflies and my message.

Biography
Fabian Kochendoerfer
Fabian Kochendoerfer, a visionary of analog instant film fine art photography since 2000, reveals the truth through his unique style he has developed over two decades.
"In search of the truth and what is real, I scratch the surface and realize that there is 'nothing' behind it. Now I want to peel the skin off reality, expose the matrix and show that the world is just an illusion," he explains.
"My art makes life worth living."
His works evoke the rich beauty of the universe and are both profound and evocative.
"The world is an illusion. Life is a dream. Wake up!"
