Caspar Neher went beyond the provision of the Scenographic. ‘Bühnenbild’ — simply to visualise stage action, he extended presence through objects.
“The war separated / Me, the writer of plays, from my friend the stage designer. / The cities where we worked are no longer there. / When I walk through the cities that still are / At times I say: that blue piece of washing / My friend would have placed it better.”
The Friends, Bertolt Brecht.
