Corpo velato was inspired by the aesthetics of the Italian baroque sculpture. It exists only for one hour at a time and creates a dialogue with the surrounding sculptures made out of long lasting materials such as stone, granite, marble and bronze, all part of the postwar exhibition of the Kunstmuseum Dahlem. The building was erected during the Nazi regime to be the studio of the artist Arno Brecker. After the war it was the studio of renowned postwar artist Bernhard Heiliger. Both Arno Breker and Bernhard Heiliger were Professors at the Berlin University of the Arts from which I graduated this sommer.
