About The Artwork
Around 400 AD Symeon Stylites practised to remain in a small place, first by chaining himself to a column, then by living 37 years on a small platform on top of a pillar (first 10 ft., later 50 ft. from the ground) with a surface area of about 25 square ft. Inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVfD7TuuiTQ The quarantine during the Corona Pandemic 2020 prompted fru to take on the role of five famous hermits and portray himself in this way: Beatus, Symeon Stylites, Antony, Hieronimus, Onuphrius. From an ecological point of view, the time of 2020 was very valuable, and Symeon Stylites can serve as a model for social distancing and an ecologically small footprint.

fru (Beat Frutiger), born in 1952 in Bern, lives in Kaiseraugst near Basel and worked as a art teacher from 1981 until his retirement in 2013. He publishes under the pseudonym fru.ch. Influenced by performances of the 1970s, Zen art and training as a make-up artist, fru has been combining body painting, photography and Zen art in a unique way. His art is a play between the photographic image that represents reality and the painting or sculpture that embodies an ideal. Since his training in 1981, his creativity has been concerned with the deconstruction of fine art, body art and photography for a reconfiguration of the elements into a result in which the image is, as in Zen teachings, "the finger pointing at the moon".
