The artistic transformation of objects and spaces, not least through light, sound or smell challenges physical boundaries and engenders original images often bearing a poetical dimension. Furthermore, much of his work engages with natural forces and the way we perceive them through form and physical space. At the same time, there is frequently a hint of whimsy in Sailstorfer\u2019s art, evoking a sense of visual wit.<\/p>\n<p>His artworks are always precise responses to the attributes of the site they are conceived for \u2013 be it the gallery, or public indoor or outdoor spaces. Through international residencies such as Villa Aurora Residency, Los Angeles (2005) or the International Studio Program, Office for Contemporary Art Norway, Oslo (2006), as well as through a great number of solo and group shows, and public art projects, Sailstorfer\u2019s work has gained worldwide attention and recognition.<\/p>\n<p>Currently he is preparing \u2013 among other works \u2013 the public performance <em>Silver Cloud<\/em>, scheduled for April 27<sup>th<\/sup>, 2016. In front of his studio in Berlin Wei\u00dfensee, a steel cloud sculpture is to be repeatedly released from a crane to free-fall, sculpting the cement pavement while undergoing a formal consumption.<\/p>\n<p>See more work at the following galleries;
