Serious Attempt

It is a plant with a bony skeleton.
An organism that unites plant and mammal.

The form represents the essence of botany.
The material represents the human being.

The focus of botany is growth. In the pursuit of light. That is the only goal of the plant. It knows no distraction from its pursuit, in which it invests all its strength.

A human being’s focus is on his role in society, in the impact he has on others.

A botanical thinking would be needed.

Diese und noch kommende Objektgruppen sind Teile von Rudolphs „Wunderkammer Mensch“.

Die Objekte Rudolphs haben für ihn die Funktion eines Notizzettels, mit denen er seine Gedanken und Fragen zum menschlichen Wesen festhält.

Verwendete Materialien und Formen fungieren durch ihre Bedeutung und Assoziation wie Wörter, die sich zu einer Aussage zusammenfügen.

Diese Art von Notizen ergibt sich aus seinem Unvermögen, ihm wichtige Gedanken schriftlich in all ihrer Tiefe treffend festzuhalten.

Mit den Objekten macht er seine Gedanken auf einen Blick erfassbar. Objekttitel und kurze Beschreibung zeigen dem Betrachter nur die Richtung für tiefere Überlegungen.

Rudolph

contemporary art

These and upcoming object groups are part of Rudolph’s "Wunderkammer Mensch".

Rudolph’s objects function as notes to himself, with which he documents his thoughts and questions about human nature.

Through the meanings and associations that they evoke, the employed materials and shapes function as words, coming together to form statements.

These kinds of notes are the result of his inability to aptly record important thoughts in writing in all their depths.

With the objects, he makes his thoughts comprehensible at a glance. Title and short description only offer the viewer a direction for more profound contemplations.
