The exhibition of German artist Luise Unger is an opportunity to explore the development of her sculptural creation and the diversity of her materials over the past twenty years.
The exhibition is mainly devoted to recent works of which a certain number have been created especially for this exhibition. This has involved long hours of manual work, weaving steel wires to produce suspended poetic structures. Like mobiles, they are cut by the light and move with the slightest breeze. Luise Unger plays on the transitions between different states, interweaving forms into one another.
Alluding to Oscar Wilde’s observation that “The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible”, Luise Unger creates installations and sculptures that invite us to encounter her works in a different manner, through an understanding of the exterior and the interior, of what is visible and invisible.
Born in 1956, a graduate of the Art Academy of Düsseldorf, Luise Unger lives and works in Cologne.
