Aérial by French artist Baptiste Debombourg flows like a monumental wave of broken glass into the Column Hall of the former Benedictine abbey ‘Brauweiler’ in Cologne. Carrying with it the light that passes measured through the windows. The crystalline structure of the Broken seems petrified, frozen in a moment of unrestrained movement. It took about 420 hours and two tons of glass to complete the project. Baptiste Debombourg explained ‘the mind is everything. The material is the servant of spiritual.’

SOUP is a description given to plastic debris suspended in the sea,
and with particular reference to the mass accumulation that exists
in an area of The North Pacific Ocean known as the Garbage Patch.
The series of images aim to engage with, and stimulate an emotional
response in the viewer by combining a contradiction between initial
aesthetic attraction and social awareness.

The visitor (m/f) is asked to pee in a urinal, the urine then runs through a transparent tube throughout the gallery and is collected in a colossal plastic bubble best described as an oval hot water bed. That (warm) bubble offers other visitors a seat, a lie-down, a wandering moment or - why not - a moment to reflect on the sense and nonsense of life itself. (Jos Van der Bergh) We all need to pee, it is something omnipresent, a feeling we all know and we really wanted to use urine as a construction material. In fact, we always use the most normal things from our surroundings and turn them into objects or installations. Why not use urine, a material that otherwise would simply be wasted. In a somewhat simplistic way we could call it a ‘democratic sculpture’. The more people contribute to this sculpture, the more comfortable it becomes.

The Kiss
2007/2010—
“The Kiss” was given to the MoMA as a donation without asking for
permission. I entered the museum as a regular visitor and gave an
intense French kiss to the wall. Next to the invisible kiss I then fixed a
fake label, which simulated the style of a regular MoMA caption.
