With his sculptures and installations, Björn Dahlem lends form to phenomena that lie beyond our power of imagination. In doing so, he does not give priority to the visual translation of sweeping insights but instead makes visible the inexplicable, the wonderful, the contradictory. Without wanting to take scientific manners of representation and precision into account, Dahlem develops complex structures out of everyday objets trouvés that make reference to theories and models from the areas of cosmology, astronomy, particle physics, or quantum mechanics. He uses his weightless and seemingly fragile constructions to almost playfully address the great questions of philosophy, metaphysics, and theology, joining them to form a separate cosmos. What is not actually visualizable takes on ambiguous form by means of interplay between profane and peculiar objects.
