developed three parameters which describe your work: the expansion of the concept of material, the expansion of the concept of form, and instructions. Once this has been grasped – and you’ve already understood this for about twenty years – we can see how sculpture is developing.

follow me to the right Battle Angel   follow me to the rightMW:follow me to the rightIn 1993, I observed a young woman in London sitting on some steps with a cigarette lighter and a paper napkin. She used the napkin to make a paper object and then burned off the corners. This was an object whose function could not be determined with the best will in the world. It had an emotional dimension; it was an obsessive object. It was at this moment that this dimension of an obsessive, emotional object became clearly obvious to me for the first time. I understood what it actually means for our life to realise that sculpture happens every day with our own hands wherever we tackle something and keep doing so.follow me to the rightfollow me to the right

with measuring tapes in this way I find fascinating because for almost all of us it’s a small piece of childhood history or part of our life in general. Everyone who has at some time measured something has wrestled with the phenomenon that the measuring tape suddenly bends and folds back at some point. And what always amazes me is that no one has yet thought of setting up these measuring tapes, even though almost everybody has held them at some time or other. Like with everything else, we are talking about a very clear, precise movement – and when you touch and use this measuring tape in accordance with the function, you get exactly what I’m showing here.

follow me to the right Hallucigenia and friends   follow me to the rightI had already made Hand-Roll-Objekte (‘Hand-roll objects’) in small models which could be constantly moved in a circular motion in your hand. In this case, the objects are more sensory. Any form of movement can be carried out by hand. Moreover, they lead to other objects I made, such as the Handmates, which were on show at documenta X in 1997.The idea behind them was that something had been brought together within a single item that the European and the Asian principle had in common, such as the palm-pleaser.

Like with those cuboids there, someone has a shape in mind – and manual work and an action are needed to fashion it. If a piece of wood, iron or marble has been worked by hand,
