Three stone chairs of different sizes near the Schinderklinge: "Larissa Verde", "Staying Seated" and "The Little Black One". "The preoccupation with the "chair" is an integral part of my repertoire. I have been dealing with this topic since the 1990s.
We think, dream and govern from the chair. The chair shapes the posture of the person sitting. With the chairs, especially the small-format ones, I am not concerned with their functionality, but with an individuality of form - a kind of
self-discovery of a useful object. The three chairs that can be seen on the "SCULPTOURA" were created in 2022 as part of the "Einsitzen" project. It is a participatory project with the Mauern öffnen association, in which inmates of the Bremen prison worked on chairs made of stone under my supervision. The first largest
chair is made of serpentinite, the second of limestone and the third of basalt. The stones were cut using core drilling and cutting and grinding machines. The outer shape of the chair was left unfinished and all machined surfaces were polished."
