TOVE STORCH

Untitled (floating surface #2) 2008
Metal and silksatin
22 x150 x 200 cm
The contrast between the light, silkily shimmering gold fabric and the hard, nail-like supports on which the cloth is placed lends this sculpture a bipolarity between a static object and a fluid motion. The pointed supports leave traces on the surface of the cloth, but without damaging it. The wave-like structure of the regular bulges reinforces the impression of the fabric’s lightness and truly makes it seem to float. The actual demarcation of planar materiality seems to have been eliminated, since the connection of ground and coating results in a volume and three-dimensionality that can only be experienced visually.
Alternating between reality and imagination, Tove Storch’s installations often seem illusionistic, calling our perception into question. In the context of the circus, the floating structure and the contrasting connection between the pointed nails and delicate material can be interpreted as reminiscent of classical illusionists such as fakirs.
