Clemens Behr's 2013 'Splitter' art in Berlin is a series of colorfully fragmented sculptures. The 3D murals seem to resemble flat painted surfaces, but the artist adds sculptural elements to his work. Behr creates site-specific installations for each location, and doesn't sketch before creating these pieces. Instead, the artist captures his creative process in photographs, creating a performance-like piece in itself.
The sharp angles, lines and many colors of Behr's chaotic work creates the illusion that the pieces are in the midst of exploding. The name of the installations, 'Splitter' is representative of the process of deconstruction and construction that Behr uses to make these sculptural pieces.
Behr has become known for his use of cardboard in his artwork, but swaps this material for more ones that will better wear the weather.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- 3D Fragmentation in Installation Art
- There is potential for artists and designers to incorporate 3D fragmentation into their installation art, creating more immersive and dynamic experiences.
- Site-specific Installation Art
- Artists and architects can explore the concept of site-specific installation art, where the artwork is customized to fit a particular location and emphasizes its surroundings.
- Process-based Art
- There is an opportunity to showcase the creative process of making art, as Behr does with his photographs that capture his creative process in real-time.
Sectors Adopting This
- Art and Design Industry
- Artists and designers can incorporate 3D fragmentation, site-specific installations, and process-based art into their work to differentiate themselves and provide more value to customers.
- Event and Experience Industry
- Event planners and experience designers can utilize site-specific installations and 3D fragmentation to create more immersive and dynamic experiences that engage participants.
- Architecture and Construction Industry
- Architects and construction companies can leverage site-specific installation art to add value to their projects and enhance the overall aesthetic of a building or public space.
