CHRISTIAN KORTH
 

CHRISTIAN KORTHS WORK CONSISTS...

Christian Korths work consists of fragments of memory, which he combines to form “contemporary time witness accumulations”.
Furniture, rubbish or other objects of daily use represent the fragments of memory that his objects are made of. He melts them together under a transparent shrink foil wrapping. These “contemporary time witness accumulations” stand for themselves, while at the same time; they refer to a set of short stories and incidents - like a memory fragment.
Korths constructions and reconstructions move slickly between obvious and hidden everyday life.
