Concept
Sinnesfelder is an ongoing series of small-scale urban sculptures inspired by the ontology of fields of sense developed by Markus Gabriel.
According to Gabriel, reality is not a single unified world but a multiplicity of interconnected fields in which different entities, meanings, and relations appear. These sculptures translate that philosophical proposition into material form.
Constructed from recycled aluminum beverage cans, each piece is composed of perforated and folded fragments joined through simple mechanical connections. Circular openings, cuts, and intersections create a dynamic network of partial surfaces that neither merge into a single totality nor remain isolated. Meaning emerges through their arrangement and coexistence.
The use of discarded packaging material emphasizes transformation, contingency, and the continuous reconfiguration of everyday matter into symbolic structures. The resulting forms resemble microscopic organisms, diagrams, constellations, or fragments of an unknown language suspended within the urban environment.
Installed through temporary interventions in public space, Sinnesfelder operates as a modest philosophical gesture: a visible assemblage of relations that invites passersby to encounter the city as a landscape of overlapping fields of meaning.
