Viola Relle & Raphael Weilguni: Mit Menschen leben
The collectively formed and glazed ceramics, shimmer or wobble peculiarly, depending on the velocity of ones perception. The same piece appears organic at times, as if it were extracted from a prehistoric monster and then conserved. Other times, one supposes a mechanical origin. With their metallic infiltrated color-palette, they could be found objects from a future past. The works are detached. Whether laying on the ground like driftwood, on top of pedestals like found objects or hanging from the ceiling like skeletons at the natural history museum; they seem like indications of forgotten events, witnesses of unknown occurrences.
It is this unhinged aspect that fascinates me and gives me peace. When Viola Relle and Raphael Weilguni place their works into the world, it is a comment on transience that I recognize. Even if civilization will one day come to an end and the constant breath of time has eradicated all memory of our presence, its tracks and fragments will be carried on further and further.
