In addition to drawings and watercolors from the early 1990s to the present day, diary-like collages and series of large-scale computer prints, Tobias Rehberger also features three-dimensional works, in which the sculptor last sold his authorship to termites. For 250 million years, they have been building man-high ventilation towers by a kind of papier mache that look like modern 1950s sculptures. Rehberger's continuously pursued approach is to question certainties about the familiar. In the field of the examination of paper, this becomes evident with a lot of subtle humour.

Summary

Collagen und Serien von großformatigen Computerdrucken sind dreidimensionale Arbeiten von Tobias Rehberger zu sehen, bei denen der Bildhauer seine Autorschaft zum Beispiel an Termitenvölker abgegeben hat. Seit 250 Millionen Jahren bauen sie mannshohe Belüftungstürme aus körperproduziertem „Pappmaché“, die wie moderne Plastik der 1950er Jahre anmuten. Gewissheiten über das Vertraute in Frage zu stellen ist Rehbergers kontinuierlich verfolgter Ansatz. Im Bereich der Auseinandersetzung mit Papier wird dies mit viel hintersinnigem Humor deutlich.
