L’artista di Colonia Simon Schubert crea immagini di interni semplicemente piegando un foglio di carta.
Francamente mi è anche difficile immaginare come faccia. I fogli di carta sono piegati, incisi e sgualciti senza nessun segno grafico. Le forme nascono dai differenti rilievi che il foglio assume e sembra siano sempre sul punto di scomparire…
Cologne artist Simon Schubert creates intricate images of stately homes and palaces simply by folding plain white sheets of paper.
In his paper works Schubert folds and creases the sheets in an extraordinary technique, adding a plastic quality to the plain paper without any graphical aid. Staircases and hallways, insights of stately homes are shown, seemingly on the point of dissolution. The rooms are inhabited by hidden human figures whose ghost-like shadows seem to enter or leave the scene.
The works are made of plain paper. The papers are entirely folded and uncoloured.

Beam Drop (1984/2008) is a large-scale sculpture on the top of a hill, made of 71 structural beams dropped by crane from a height of 45 meters into a pit of wet cement over a 12-hour period. The random pattern of the fallen beams formed the piece, making this work an interpretation of the gestural aspects of Abstract Expressionism and a simultaneous deconstruction of modern sculpture. It is the recreation on a larger scale of a work originally installed in 1984 for Art Park in the state of New York and destroyed in 1987.
