Gianni Caravaggio and Johannes Wald, two conceptual sculptors whose purist works harbor a poetic momentum, meet in unforeseen. While Gianni Caravaggio directs his gaze into the universe and takes the existential reality of his art as his starting point, Johannes Wald's poetry is the result of an ongoing questioning of his own artistic existence, which examines the origin of creativity, fantasy and imagination and takes the non-rationally explainable as its starting point. Wald's works are self-reflexive in two respects, as they deal with the artistic processes that arise in the subconscious and explore how thoughts become objects that conquer the world as materialized entities. At the same time, however, they are also reflections on the existential conditions of sculpture, which include the material, formal-aesthetic considerations and the historical dimension of the medium.
Gianni Caravaggio's works, on the other hand, are metaphors of the cosmic order to which reality is subject. Nature, its forces and phenomena become manifestations of the spirit, which first take shape in the subjective perception of the viewer, then materialize and thus take on an ever new, individual meaning. They throw us back on our own fateful existence within the universal structure, in whose space-time continuum human existence appears void, yet wondrous.
Together, Gianni Caravaggio and Johannes Wald set out in unforeseen in search of the essence of art, knowing full well that it remains unpredictable and always in flux.
