Junger Felsen
Young Rock

Description

"In one of the earliest video sculpture Wolf Kahlen places a slab of granite on top of a TV set and glues a fragment of the same slab on the screen. The silent TV picture is nothing more than a pale grey flickering. In conjunction with the way the flickering picture impinges over the edges of the granite, the contrasting light and shade of TV picture and stone makes the slab appear to be animated, almost as if it is floating in mid-air. The object blurs the separation between solid materiality and immaterial light, and the borders between the sides of the TV screen."
