Lachreiz vor Säulen is a site-specific series of sculptures made for Weiden Space in 2023. The work consists of five wooden pillars wich are positioned underneath an existing beam inside the space. They are made of oak wood wich has been chemically treated to emulate the appearance of bog oak. Each pillar bears cracks, scratches and various mortises as if they had been reused over time for different purposes. Within the room, the line of pillars creates a barrier that divides the space. It can be crossed, but only by squeezing through the narrow gaps between two of the pillars. Both in the space in front of the pillars and the space behind them one can find a small work hanging on the wall. The back room of the space is only accessible by again squeezing through a half-closed door. Inside there is no lighting, so one can only vaguely make out a shelf-like wall piece and five roughly folded protective sheets scattered about.
