In the collection, the sculpture looks like an amorphous, swaying bridge. Angelika Loderer is a sculptor. She casts mole burrows and woodpecker nests. The former – as here – produce slender, twisting tubes, the latter compact casts that look like squat amphorae or weathered implements. What remains are hardened masses for which there is a characteristic interplay of positive and negative forms. These discharges are like reconstructed excavations, metallically modeled archaeology, which convey not human, but animal evidence. It is about growth, becoming and hiding, about habitats and burrows, but above all about native life forms.
