Christoph Weber

During the process of curing Christoph Weber subjects the material concrete to the most diverse forces, lifting it, throwing it, letting it fall apart… These are the movements, which remain apparent in the finished sculpture: the work is process frozen or hardened. His objects evoke the metaphors of violence and power, which are inherent in the material, yet Weber is able to stretch conventional conceptions of concrete with aspects such as vulnerability and fragility and pack his sculptures with complex metaphors of power and powerlessness, creation and destruction…
