Leunora Salihu. Urknall

About

The five-meter-long and over two-meter-high sculpture is a complex modular construction of multiplex boards. Urknall is a physical manifestation of Salihu's ongoing search for a timeless artistic language and experimentation with different material and spatial effects. Urknall receives its dynamic through the contrast between levity and gravity: The two large wheel-shaped modules of the sculpture – equally mechanical and organic in appearance – are held together and in equilibrium by a core of glazed ceramic placed in the center of its horizontal axis.
