Formation of a column

“Everyone can build their own color space.” This motto by Roland Goeschl dating from the year 1968 also applies to the work Column Formation. The three objects are not the result of an analytical deconstruction of a figure; rather, the relation they bear to one another is unique to this composition. Rotated to equal degrees around the shortest side, the otherwise static solid figures are lent a dynamism that makes one forget the weight of the material they are made from. This rotation around a shared axis also invites the viewer to actively explore the monumental object in its spatial setting—as if the cubes were calling on the viewer to pile them up or reposition them.
