SCULPTURE My sculpture "and we all will die" emphasizes a balance between emptyness-fullness, border and infinity of the materiality and symbols. Biographically and emotionally I am close to asian and japanese culture. Not only through travels to China, an artist-in-residency stay in South Korea and a diploma work on japanese gardens of meditations but also through an interest for a specific "asian" aesthetics. Inspired by this I made a wood scultpture "and we all will die". It explores universal symbols where all things are dual: they have an opposition in themselves. "Beauty should be modestly hidden under the surface of the thing, so the viewer can discover it during the watching process" - this impression about japanese housing reflects in the minimalistic form of the sculpture. The relations between viewer and object where not only watching is important but physical conections between both. Exhibition was supported by the Polish Institute Berlin, Bureau Leipzig presented during the Ohayo, Japan! 2009 Festival "and we all will die", ca. 140 cm high, wood, beeswax "and we all will die" exhibition with Masakuni Murakami, PANIPANAMA, Leipzig, Germany, 7.-23.10.2009
