Jury's decision in the competition 'Everything turns'

4 Oct 2004

The jury awarded the following prizes in the Ideas and art competition 'Everything turns' organised jointly with the Amthof Gallery in Bad Camberg:

1st prize: Kai Wolf with 'Time 1-3'

In the jury's opinion, the topic of 'Everything turns' was not only realised artistically, aesthetically and technically in the triptychon 'Growth', 'Duration' and 'Race' from Kai Wolf but also in the most original form.

Rustic, coarsely joined wood coalesces with the complicated and filigree mechanism to form a whole. The antique miniatures and organic elements that have been forced into these by technology give this work its unmistakable character and personality.

2nd prize: Daniel Stern with 'Human mill'

The jury decided to award Daniel Stern second place because he handled the topic of the invitation in a humorous way with the exaggerated colours and shapes in his sculpture 'Human mill'.

Through the mechanical sequence of movements that is triggered with the active participation of the viewer by a steel ball, he realises the interaction of various processes that culminate in the rotation of three mill wheels. The representation of the 'Wheel of life', as it appears in many cultures, can be construed symbolically. Or you can simply enjoy the play of forces.

3rd prize: Ingrid Hess with 'Weidida'

'Weidida' by Ingrid Hess convinced the jury by the movement that was set in motion by a circular movement, articulated in a scratching noise. This formally successful composition and wittiness of the design gained it 3rd place.

4th prize: Petra Dutiné

You get a different picture every day with the object 'moving turns' however you twist and turn it. It is an interactive object where everything turns differently. You can make up your own picture every single day depending on your mood.

5th prize: Monika Kilb

In the three watercolour works 'Everything's turning', 'Who's turning around who?' and 'It's all about you!' Monika Kilb has succeeded in expressing the topic in an exciting, two-dimensional way using only a few colours and a limited language of forms.

6th prize: Eleonore Ost

The 'Hurdy-gurdy' is the most convincing photographic depiction of a real movement. The rotation of the crank is the decisive aspect of playing a hurdy-gurdy and has been very vividly reproduced through the reduced close-up.

7th prize: Ursula Herting

The work 'Clean' stands out above all through its humour. The clever idea has been realised very coherently and 'cleanly'. The picture becomes an object through the mounted, rotating washing drum and invites viewers to touch it.
