CARSTEN HÖLLER
«Schnee»

In his solo exhibition, Hoeller realizes a snow-melting system that extends across the room from an open window and disappears down a slight incline via a chute on a wooden structure, only to end in the next room in an aluminium gutter that also extends across the room out through another open window. Under the slide in the first room is a propane burner that heats the sheet metal and ensures that the snow – falling from outside onto the slide – melts and flows as water into the gutter. The work refers to the unpredictable, to the incalculable moment in life, in nature, in thinking, in art.
