LUFTIKUSS I
2022

Oil-painted Textile Sculpture
250 x 380 cm

This work is a homage to the Luftikusse of this world. Lightness, dynamism, and an element of playfulness are made tangible - almost seductively so, in their physical presence. The lush, colorful corporeality speaks of vitality and a joy for life. The viewer’s sensuality is further addressed through the haptic quality: it is plump, firm, and yet soft and yielding.

Thus, the Luftikuss—like the Luftikusse of our everyday lives—serves as a reminder to move through life with curiosity, elan, and a sense of playfulness; to celebrate the dynamism and flexibility of body and mind.

The Luftikuss is a hand-sewn sculpture made of cotton fabric. The individual cushions are filled with batting, and the side panel is tensioned by a tubular element. Covering the surface is an all-over oil painting.The work is suspended with steel cables at a height of approximately 1.80 to 2 meters.
