«Striving for a dialogue with the viewer is one of the hallmarks of Otmar Alt's newer work. It is symbolised by the eye, the organ for visual communication. Therefore, it is a cipher of art for Alt, built on this kind of non-verbal language. Consequently, it lends itself as a vehicle for establishing a dialogue between image and viewer.» from: Volker Kapp (Ed.), Otmar Alt, Ein Künstler in seiner Zeit, Hamm 1988, p. 12.
