In his piece Stylit, Michael Kienzer addresses the subject of sculpture in the public sphere: he interprets space as an archive of objects, which he juxtaposes with an elongated vertical sculpture which, however, unlike all other urban furnishing objects and elements, is marked by perplexing differences. On the end of a several meter long rod or pipe, which grows out of a pot-like pedestal, he mounts a well pump which—unreachable for pedestrians passing by—sits at the height of the treetops and street lights.
Using simple tools and everyday (ready-made) materials, Michael Kienzer repeatedly succeeds anew in breaking up perceptual patterns and creating shrewdly differentiated spatial situations.
