Markus Brinker: AposTropfen

Perspective matters! Today with Markus Brinker's AposTropfen

This artwork is part of our campaign "Perspective matters". With start'19 in mind, we asked artists what they saw in the apostrophe from our event logo – or if it even is an apostrophe in their eyes. The responses to this call for entries revealed a multitude of perspectives that we want to share with our readers. More information about the campaign can be found HERE. 

Markus Brinker, AposTropfen, cherry wood, oiled, 32 x 15 x 12 cm

“Everything flows and the apostrophe is like a drop for me”, says Markus Brinker about his sculpture. Hence its title: AposTropfen (“Tropfen”, German for “drop”). The cherry wood sculpture might look like an apostrophe at first glance. But if you just turn it just a little, new impressions and associations emerge immediately. What do you see?

Are you inspired by this perspective? Don’t hesitate to show your own, then! To get you started we have prepared a craft template – download it HERE. As part of our campaign, we want to encourage everyone to look at their own perspective and maybe re-think it. While making such a small sculpture, you have the best opportunity to turn both things around: the paper sculpture and your own perspective ... we're curious to see what comes out of it!
