PUPPETRY AND PUPPETS / 2024
steel sculpture, paint
The sculpture consists of only the puppet show, without the puppets, without the play. The work emphasizes their absence. It is made of huge steel plates that slide seamlessly into each other. To carry the weight of the sculpture and place it on its stainless pedestal, it requires a large lifting crane. Nevertheless, this heavy steel structure looks fragile, as if it will collapse with an unexpected push. The walls, laterally braced against each other like a wobbly house of cards, remind us of the cardboard doll cabinets we tinkered together ourselves as children. The pedestal invites us to climb the sculpture.
