SABINE HORNIG RECONSTRUCTS REA...
Sabine Hornig reconstructs real architectural elements and rebuilds them by rescaling and abstracting them.Being totally covered in stucco these sculptures seem to be without reference to a concrete place. They become prototypes of a global architecture of banality. Their character and function has been hidden by the plasterwork. The perception of the fleeting and unspectacular adds up to a general impression of a city . Despite the functionality and anonymity of the forms which are percieved, one always connects the peripheral gaze with oneґs own personal memory. Sabine Hornig strings strange details together, which create a different relation to the trivial. The sculptures underline the setlike and modellike appearance of the buildings, they create monuments of the ordinary.
