 A bar stool is being transformed into a micro stage for the body sculpture "Code Act".

Within 15 minutes the piece unfolds body images that reveal the strength and intimacy of being human.

 

On the one hand, the bar chair serves as a column for a classic Greek or Roman statue, but as an everyday object it reminds of Berlin's dark nightlife, of leisure, standstill, addiction, pleasure and loneliness. In addition to her haunting dialogue between shadow and light, Veruschka Bohn creates an game in the minds of the viewer by switching between opposing meanings that occur within the sculptural process.
