Unterbrechung
This sculpture is movement. Through the wood's grain and its form, you can sense the speed of this sculpture. A loop. Suddenly, this energy is halted, and there's an interruption in the middle. A stop. A crack in the oak wood, which Daniel Bucur has further highlighted, and so the interruption adds to the natural wholeness of the sculpture.
To stimulate his creative process, the artist initially created a model from thick leather. You can see the part that fits perfectly into the recess, and you want to close the gap to maintain the speed.
The present is experiencing a speed crisis due to the unstoppable acceleration of life. Everything is getting faster. This speed is visible in Daniel Bucur's sculpture; it pauses in the moment. And even the smallest interruption propels us further in the predetermined direction. A small part that seamlessly fits into its counterpart gives us the impression that it should continue. Interruption is not allowed in our fast-paced world. Will the sculpture find its rhythm again? Will it pick up speed once more? Does this moment of stillness symbolize the challenges of our time? After all, it's the loops, detours, and interruptions that add flavor to all our lives.
