Klingelhöller has been creating sculptures since the late 1970s, the concept of which is based on the title of the work as well as on the plastic form. The metaphorical-poetic formulation of the work's title is in tension with the form, which results in a deliberate openness with regard to possible associations and possible interpretations for the viewer.
