In his work, which oscillates between conceptual art and sculpture, Johannes Wald addresses fundamental questions about sculpture. Wald departs from the conventions of art-historical tradition in order to challenge the material as a carrier of information. He usually does not strive for a finished form, but often works with fragments that fall away during the sculptural process and which he conceptually charges with meaning through his titles. The book focuses on reflections on the conditions and effects of figurative sculpture.
