Werner Pokorny - Wheel 2014, 2014, 300 x 300 x 78 cm, Corten steel
According to the title, Werner Pokorny's Corten steel sculpture represents a wheel - an ancient symbol of progress and movement. However, if you look more closely at the shape of the wheel, another cipher from prehistoric times is inscribed in it: the house. It is the artist's trademark. Indicated by the simplest outlines, he places it in the context of life, sometimes as a shelter and home, sometimes as homelessness and sometimes as a formal game in turbulent and moving times. The sculptor has practiced the archetypal shape of the house in the wheel in various sizes and techniques (steel and wood), whereby the symbolic house also appears in the work as a whole in the form of a tower, solo or in an ensemble, and parallel to the wheel also in the context of a window frame. "House," says Pokorny, "is incredibly many things. It is a dwelling, it is protection, it is narrowness, it is distress, it is private and it is social - for me an always exciting metaphor.«
In 2022/23, the sculpture relocated to SCULPTOURA was on display in the exhibition at the Korber Köpfe - there the thought form of the house as a symbol of human existence was expanded to the head as a container for the world of thought.
