Reflecting Light
Bode Gallery
Willi Siber’s works defy clear categorization. They straddle the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and object art, creating a fascinating dialogue between form, color, light, and space. At the heart of his work lies the question of how perception arises and how it is constantly transformed by the viewer’s movement.
The starting point for his works is often the close observation of natural phenomena—reflections on water surfaces, organic structures, or the shifting of light within a space. However, Siber does not translate these impressions in an illustrative manner; rather, he uses them as a catalyst for an independent exploration of materiality and effect. His works emerge from lengthy experimental processes in which materials such as wood, steel, resin, or varnish lose their usual function and develop an almost autonomous presence.
His treatment of surfaces is particularly characteristic. Reflective epoxy resins, chrome-plated elements, and relief-like structures create works that change with every shift in perspective. Light becomes not only a means of visibility but an active component of the work itself. Colors begin to glow, shift, or appear to dissolve; volumes appear both solid and immaterial at the same time.
The result is works of extraordinary visual presence that do not confirm perception but continually challenge it anew.
