Nina Koch - stürzendes Denkmal

The figurative bronze sculpture communicates abstract themes such as the fall in the image of the "bucking" horse. The structure of the figure stands at the beginning of Koch's sculptural considerations. In the figure, she also answers artistic questions: How far am I abstracting? Where do I specify? How coarse, fine, detailed do I design the shapes? How do I bring life to the characters? The figure evokes a view of the imperfect, the faulty, the contradictory.
