Stefan Burger, «Narcissus, zentrales Höhlengrau, Erbse, Flamingo» (I&II)
Stefan Burger (*1977) exhibits two luminaire objects in the library which will light up the room as well as the visitors’ moods. The sculptures, made from poured glass and aluminum, continue Burger’s work with art as a commodity which he began at the Cabaret Voltaire in 2020. They are hybrid installations or tilting figures which, depending on the view, lean towards different qualities and interpretations and deal with decoration and function. Working with liquid glass involves colors of intense radiance, which continue to shine indestructibly happily thanks to their ceramic nature.
