Touch Fragments (nonhuman, man-made), 2022
beeswax, 170 x 57 x 30 cm
The exhibition Touch Fragments was conceived as the story of a transformation, from the extraction of limestone to the creation of the technosphere. It reflects the links and tensions between the lithosphere, biosphere and technosphere, between the earth‘s crust, all living things, and the industrial use of natural resources. In the space of the gallery, visitors are able to discover a dialogue between Christoph Weber’s latest works: human-sized columns cast in beeswax bearing the structures of the limestone extraction resp. of two concrete infrastructure surfaces; large analogue photographic contact prints of translucid mold making rubber of the same surfaces.
