German artist Cornelia Konrads uses steel poles, rope and branches to presents an ethereal emancipation from the clutches of gravity. The site-specific installation in a forest clearing in Osnabrück, Germany presents the audience with a pseudo-reality in which the Gateway also the title of work appears to emerge from the forest floor. In it's construction this effect is acquired through a subtle interweaving of very different materials that culminates in-corporeal perspectives. A strong narrative of the works is in it's appropriative reference to folklore and magic yet its realization is through a harnessing of the immediate natural surroundings and found materials.
