Shadow Orchestra
Vogel
extended the idea of a performative sculpture since the end of the 1980s
by integrating mechanical instruments made of wood, metal and
membranes into his sculptures, which he calles Shadow Orchestra. These
mechanical instruments are arranged on a wide plinth and are triggered
electro-mechanically through photo cells. The shadows of the illuminated
instruments are projected against a wall dramatically increasing the
tiny movements of the mechanisms of the instruments. Again, the Shadow
Orchestra wants to entice the gallery visitor into action and play with
the scultpure.
