​Ralf Sander - Artist

Early works

 

IAlmost all of my early works took the human body as its subject and base for human scale wooden sculptures and carvings made from a single log of wood. I describe the work as: "encounter with the other side of appearance". His work attempts to treat the body not as an object but a common condition. Since 2000 Iexperiments with different materials and media, including film. He repeatedly refers in his work on whole social groups and integrates their participation into the working process, (as in:Rolandtransfer, Child`s play,Lernen ist sich Oeffnen) relying on Joseph Beuys term Soziale Plastik.
