Lachreiz vor Säulen is a site-specific series of sculptures made for Weiden Space. The work consists of 5 wooden pillars wich are positioned underneath an existing beam inside the space. They are made from oak wood wich was chemically treated to emulate the appearance of bog oak. They have marks like cracks, scratches and various mortises as if they have been used before in other occasions for quite some time. In the room the line of pillars creates a barrier that divides the space. It can be crossed but only by squeezing through two of the pillars. The back room of the space is only accessible by again squeezing through a half closed door. The back room has no light so one can only vaguely see one shelf-like wall piece and five roughly folded protective sheets laying about.
