An installation of recent sculptures on the grass of a sports field in Fribourg covers a room in the Kunsthaus Langenthal. Four sculptures take their place in a constellation of strangely ordered elements. All the materials could just as easily have come from a junk shop or a skip, they do not seem very ambitious at first glance, but are nevertheless worked with precision.

The allusion to outdoor space, evoked by the materials and objects, indicates an attempt to arrange the cultural history of mankind as a backyard garden so that one can move through it at one's own pace, animating some things and relativizing others, digging something here to retrieve something there, always keeping in mind the possibilities and the corresponding consequences.

In this way, the presumptuous undertaking of trying to embrace the history of culture with one's eyes is approached in a calm and humane, almost realistic and tangible way.
