Claudia Wieser’s Interactive Stage of Human Experience

Here, we ask an artist to frame the essential details behind one of their latest works.

Bio: Claudia Wieser, 48, Berlin.

Title of work: Rehearsal (2021).

Where to see it: The entrance of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where Washington Street and Plymouth Street meet, until April 17.

Three words to describe it: Colors, shapes, context.

What was on your mind at the time: Some interactive, poetic, structured intervention that makes people think, laugh, and stay. 

An interesting feature that’s not immediately noticeable: The top of the sculptures.

How it reflects your practice as a whole: It reflects the variety of materials I use, the importance of drawing, the connection with architecture and design, and the interest in human history represented in the applied imagery on the sculptures.

One song that captures its essence: Pure Vernunft darf niemals siegen – Tocotronic.
