KATHY LUDWIG

My work is dealing with steadiness and change of society and of individual, human values in relation to detectable and tangible tendencies of time and surrounding. I translate my observations into objects, which can be experienced physically. Due to the direct interaction with the objects, the human being is encouraged and inspired to the reflection of oneself and ones surrounding. I’m interested in different detectable aspects around the central theme of the human being in its surrounding. The position of the being in relation to itself, other beings, volumes, spaces, etc. evolves to an undefined, peculiar term of aesthetics, beauty, values and self-consciousness.

I want to create a surrounding or world where these values materialize in objects and become experienceable, so they can be perceived by means of the human body and senses. As the human being finds itself as an alien body in this deformed surrounding, he has to adapt and redefine his ideals and has to look for different perspectives. The conflict of the human being with these objects can be perceived as a kind of performance. Like this man and surrounding form an interactive sculpture with direct influence on each other, which change by the matter of being experience and behavior.
