MAN ZWEIFELT SICH VORWÄRTS

steel, paint, 140 x 200 x 700 cm, 2010

Feddersen has made the idea of the “lifeline” visible, making the material cater to its needs. The welds are not smoothened, but bear imperfections; via pluggable connectors the object can be disassembled and reconstructed anytime, but must be able to support itself, in order to carry itself. The sculpture, which the artist has intuitively let grown, remains restless, remains open to changes, never becomes immobile. The title utters what vibrates in the work: “Man zweifelt sich vorwärts” (You doubt yourself forward).
