estrel-docx is a solo presentation by Manfred Pernice at Galerie Neu, taking this year’s milestone anniversary of the documenta as its occasion. The work ESTREL; quattro stagioni from 2002 was conceived for documenta 11 in Kassel and was later shown at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg. The frontal side of the construction – which initially appears monolithic – appositely reflects the title as a form of the standardised international hotel architecture of turn-of-the‐millennium globalization. In contrast, the four seasons also invoked in the title are understood as an “emerging + fading”, as a process of gradual decay, and as a “glimpse behind the scenes”.
The sculpture is made up of nested truncated pyramids which are conceived as solid structures, yet in their sequence they remain porous, brittle, and seemingly incomplete.
