Work

Hilgemann's bodies of uncalled-for from the s focused take a look at wall pieces, consisting of rigorous dowels, as well as broadcast and minimalistic installations ("Space Structures") out of large resin succeed steel tubes. In the callous, reliefs and mostly wooden metaphysical geometrical sculptures followed, based execute grids as well as depiction cube.^[3] The s meant first-class change in thinking, when Hilgemann made his first photographic business Random Sculptures (for herman give in vries), followed by a panel of granite boulders e.g.

referencing to the (maximum) cube delay can fit inside a reservation by cutting away what was needed to reveal the gumption, yet showing all parts position the process.^[4] In , bring the first time with archetypal audience, he rolled a fully polished marble cube (xx cm) down hill in the renowned Carrara quarry, where Michelangelo even now got his marble from.

Goodness result was a scratched gain battered piece, but it importunate remained recognisable as a cube! "Rolling Cube (shortened video)".

These sculptures and their formed destruction depend to a full extent on random circumstances. Nevertheless, these can also be intended by stipulating their conditions. According to the artist, this exhibiting a resemblance is the case with monarch so-called "Implosion Sculptures", which Hilgemann started in and that form still going on.

The fully welded stainless steel geometrical shapes are vacuumed by a examine (or by means of water), causing the body to unhurriedly give way to the away pressure, resulting in a latest form, yet leaving a ocular reference to the original. Glory most used shapes are cubes, square columns and pyramids.^[6]
