Klaus Elle:

Creativity - the infinitely renewable resource

Capturing and Expressing Social & Organisational Dynamics through Art

Klaus Elle

Klaus has long-standing experience in working with organisations and his work with images and scenarios is oriented towards bringing creativity as an inspiring element to the pursuit of sustainability.
He tries to address the psychosomatic disturbances and blocks in social systems (from small organisations and businesses to larger systems) by making their ‘emotional DNA’ visible through image and metaphor. Change in social systems – according to Klaus – needs to be experienced as inwardly real and tangible, so healing and new balance can grow out of disturbance.
In this process, he considers creativity and imagination as the greatest renewable energy sources we have available to us as humans, and he wants to infuse that energy into collective change processes. He does not believe in art for art’s sake, but sees art as a visual intervention into the development of human consciousness.
He will be present throughout the day with his large notebooks and capturing his impressions of events through doodles, images, drawings and other visual representations. He will introduce this work at the beginning of the day in a short presentation, and make the products of his work available at the end of the day - see the planned feedback session from 19:15 - 19:45.
