Dostojevskij
Public sculpture at Bergshamra Bibliotek; Solna, Sweden, 2016
Material: steel
ca. 200 x 180 x 150cm
The slightly altered text section of Dostoevsky’s “Mr. Prochartschin” is leading over the entire sculpture, the length of the text sections determine the length of the bars.
The shape of the sculpture is reminiscent of crumpled paper.
The text excerpt deals with the attempt of textual expression, resulting in failure. In continuation the work thematises the artist’s creative process, the ideas and failures, the desire for perfection in company of constant self-doubt. Failure itself is brought to form.
