Untitled consists of two bronze castings and a sound piece. Asked for a commission by my father to cast a death mask of his face „while still looking good“, I commissioned a death mask vice versa. The work processes exceeded the tipping point of facial representation to the sphere of believing in a work. This became wrapping the casted wax heads in bubble wrap for reasons of care, casting these reasons in bronze after all. A sound composition recorded by Hans and Johannes accompanies the bronze castings.
