... also the paravent ´this approximate world´of christian blau lives on the modification, but in a quite different sense. although the six boards from the distance remind of prison doors - which are for the constant as the unalterable - they save a secret, which is almost a synonym for modification: sounds.

christian blau plays with our curiosity, however not with which is behind the paravant, but with what is behind the sound modules. it is quasi architecturally focused by the artist: on each board is one separated pushbutton. and that the adolescense imagination grows wild fruit, proves the front with that classical triad, an attraction plate, while the rear side offers fragments of nursery rhymes. more is not to be betrayed... (from catalog text `The Paravent Project`, of Adolf H. Kerkhoff)
