onopordum // Onopordum acanthium // Scotch Thistle

This name was originally the title of my poetry book in 2001. Scotch thistle … who blooms in the summer … who grows on the edge of the road in spacious fields … who might seem worthless from afar, but close – for me – beautiful…

Although the book has never been printed, I was able to identify more and more with the title. I started using it as a nom de plume. Exactly when, and especially since I’ve been on Onopordum Performance, I don’t know. But it’s not important anymore.

Onopordum Performance – a creative community // a series of occasional connections that cannot even be called a project company… an artist name… a name.
It would be an exaggeration to call it an identity.
