This two-part work by Wilfried Hagebölling examines the relationship between positive and negative forms. Both parts are made out of different materials and clearly make reference to each other in their design, while not being identical. Resting on the ground, the positive form is an architectural structure made of concrete; the negative form is made of steel and embedded in the ground. Both elements feature steps, which serve as an architectural representation of a connection between different levels. Viewing the sculpture, the artist’s occupation with how spaces are defined, the interior and exterior, and the divisive and connective becomes clear.
