Curator’s Tour

Sculpture, made almost exclusively of wood, forms the constant in Elisabeth von Samsonow's artistic work. In the trunk, the artist sees an equal partner, to which she gives a new existence through her work. As curator Rolf Johannsen shows, however, the sculpture does not stand isolated in the artist's oeuvre, but contributes substantially to Samsonow's understanding of the earth as a holistic, living organism, which is to be read and understood.
