Documentation of a performance
In the work roundabout, 2018 by Selma Weber (*1958), various exterior and interior spaces are intertwined. The sculptural staging unexpectedly reveals a stage space whose lightness contrasts with the heavy concrete plinths on which it rests. In it, the artist presents a video documentation of a performative action. With the utmost concentration, she balances a flat plate on her head and guides visitors to the exhibition through the area around her studio. Her pose with the plate on her head is reminiscent of saints on Italian frescoes. (Text, Eveline Schüep
