Invisible Sculpture is based on a reversal of the sculptural working technique of the lost mould. Understood as a process result, each Invisible Sculpture comprises various types of materiality or medium/form variations. In order to secure the trace evidence, something totally arbitrary is placed on a working underlay and treated with colour. This initial manoeuvre is followed by the partial marking of the arbitrary item via moulding. The result from the separation of the two, i.e. the physical marking on the one hand and the subtraction of the arbitrary item on the other, is sensual data which activates the reversal. The “temporary markings” (Rosalind E. Krauss) are captured via long-exposure photographs or video.

In case of Invisible Sculpture_019 (AXOPn) the arbitrary item is a big balloon, which is filled with helium gas. The „temporary markings“ are provided by a video. The images of the video, in which 3D-generated animation sequences are integrated, have been taken with different cameras (a camera which was positioned on a tripod, action cam). With the pretension to reflect artistically about the peculiarity of 3D-generated space, I made a copy of my Berlin studio for the animations. In the exhibition the working underlay is transcoded to a panel painting.
