Curve Fitting
2020-2023, Sheet steel, wood, effect foils, magnets, each H 100 x W 100 x D 5 cm
Series of 7 wall sculptures which show a simplified representation of a bar chart.
The diagram bars of the sculpture can be moved/adjusted individually by hand.
Through these adjustable diagram bars, the sculpture allows to visualize a wide variety of data (and also to interpret, falsify, or manipulate them accordingly).
Curve Fitting No. 07 is framed by a carnival lighting.
H 114 x W 114 x D 12 cm
