Island of foam version XIII
Stephanie Lüning (DE)
The series Island of foam is a wonderfully messy affair, using a foam machine connected to differently colored water tanks to create an island of foam. The island fades away and is periodically renewed, allowing visitors to see the process in action.
Lüning’s works are process-oriented and move between total control during an experimental setup and absolute surrender to the initiated process itself. Among other things, she experiments with colored foam, soap bubbles, and blocks of ice, examining bodies of water for their formative peculiarities, leaving chance to play a significant role in the artistic process.
In her temporary work, colored foam measures spill over the entire roof, leaving behind ephemeral color sculptures.
