Cosmic Trigger – Respawn

Installation view of formwork-board sculptures by Ernst Koslitsch, Cosmic Trigger – Respawn, Bildraum 07

Installation view, Cosmic Trigger – Respawn, Bildraum 07, Vienna

New sculptural work built from construction-grade formwork board, developed through cutting, layering, screwing, reworking and stapling as an open, processual system. The pieces resist a fixed final state: components can be taken apart and recombined into new constellations, so meaning emerges from the shifts and relations between them rather than any single object.
