As a book a painting might have a title. If you know the title of a painting and look at it, the title is so to say in the background, and makes you perhaps see something, which you would not have seen without the title. If you read a book and do not know the title, you might loose an aspect of the whole story. The Title of this book is Titles and pulls the titles of the paintings of Tamuna Sirbiladze into the foreground. It is her handwriting and the title, which you see as a strange counterpoint to the black & white copy of the painting in the background, to which the title belongs. It makes you see, how Sirbiladze saw a combination of words, perhaps cut out of a newspaper, in relation to her own brushstrokes and selection of colours (which you don’t see). Benedikt Ledebur
