Those who view Margret Eicherʼs large tapestries for the first time, canʼt help getting caught in a maelstrom of hybrid seduction. The subjects and scenes presented in the current media world find itself in the world of fashion, advertising, art and glamour on familiar contemporary ground. Here the image carrier – usually associated with courtly representation and mythological legitimation of the ruling dynasties – seems inapproprate and, due to ist traditional weightiness, too heavy and static for the fast moving information that it carries.
