Jürgen Partenheimer visited South Africa separately in 2011 and 2012 on a NIROX residency. During this residency he collaborated with poet Lebogang Mashile to create a dialogue between art and poetry as an exploration of shared creative interests which resulted in a poetry reading, exhibition and artist’s book. The etchings and linocuts, Folded Spirits, were created as a continuation of this project with David Krut Print Workshop, assisted by printmakers Jillian Ross and Mlungisi Kongisa.
