The starting point of Ulrich Vogl’s work is his fascination with everyday objects and places, their stories and moods. He either integrates them unchanged, reshapes them, or leaves them only as references. These objects are always part of a playful, experimental and conceptual process, at the end of which the work is reduced to its essentials.
Two Stars Missing combines new large scale sculptural and photographic works. It is the first time that the Artist has worked with photography in such a scale.
The two photographic works evolve around the human body, oscillating between the intimate and the universal. The framing and its glass are an important part of the presentation.
The minimal, yet narrative sculptures in the exhibition consist of different combinations of metal, tulle, wood and plants. Vogl refers to them as "cognitive catalysts."
