life and work

Iven Fritsche started writing at the age of eight. At sixteen, the NDR produced the first short radio plays. At the age of twenty-one, the author fell ill with Guillain-Barré Syndrome , from which he has never fully recovered to this day. The illness is an essential formative experience that is reflected in his work in many ways.

The author has produced films, sketch and radio series on his own and has published numerous fantastic stories as well as satirical short stories and poetry parodies.

Fritsche deals with visual poetry , concrete poetry and experimental and typographic poetry.

On the one hand, the author processes the near-death experience from his serious illness by not allowing his original manuscripts to "live on". Despite - or because of - the experience of his own mortality, the author has little to gain from the immortality of his own work: He tears up, cuts up, burns his texts, lets them stew in the oven, weather them in the garden, put them in the washing machine, cook them and some more. From the fragmentary remnants, he arranges and collages novel forms of literature, some of which he overwrites in multiple layers. To make these works nameable, he mostly uses the term picture poem .

On the other hand, Fritsche explores the border area between literature and art by breaking or ironicizing familiar reading and viewing habits and asking what literature actually is and where it begins or ends. His artificial work has been published in literary magazines and anthologies, and two individual publications have been published by Karl Riha at the Siegen University. Original works by Fritsche can be found among others. a. at the Museum of Contemporary Japanese Poetry, Tanka and Haiku, Kitakami / Japan .

Fritsche lives in Hamburg and occasionally publishes satirical columns in Jungle World , Junge Welt and other newspapers.
