Miniverse, built with hundreds of layers, marks the movement into a new sculptural form.
This new series of works, are spheres of 50 - 300cm diameter, perfectly round, their surfaces broken only by 3 - 5cm diameter holes that are entrances to funnel-shaped tunnels that enlarge towards the center of the globe, taking the eye toward the centre
of this microcosm. The tunnels - like synapses of the brain that transport and transform information - guide the eye toward round videos on monitors in center of the globe.
These monitors display original video content by Katja Loher. The artist presents a bird's eye view of people in minimalist uniforms performing a highly structured choreography. This unique perspective creates a new language in the video medium, a language that while almost literal in its narrative form renders the familiar surreal and unknown; as if presenting the figures and their actions as amoebas under a microscope for us to study.
