Cast (biological resin, 80% from rapeseed and corn oil, with the addition of color paste) of a shell of a loggerhead turtle found in Southeast Africa around 1906 (on loan from the State Zoological Collection Munich, one of the largest natural history research collections in the world *), transparent, size 48 cm. The shimmering turquoise object gets a special appeal from the lighting, and at the same time the skeleton becomes partially visible. One focus of the trained wood sculptor is light art, partly in collaboration with the Osram company (e.g. at LUMINALE 2016 or at "spirit of the rainbow", Munich Airport), but also with the artist Iwan Seiko. PS * The turtle collection that was relocated was largely destroyed in World War II.
