Andreas Slominski — Windmühle
Andreas Slominski

Windmühle

1996

A meticulously crafted windmill construction by Andreas Slominski, *Windmühle* combines painted wood and metal with the unexpected inclusion of coloured tape and foil, blurring the boundary between functional object and sculptural form. The work reflects Slominski's characteristic interest in everyday structures and vernacular aesthetics, transforming a familiar archetype into something subtly uncanny. The use of humble, utilitarian materials alongside more traditional craft elements lends the piece a playful yet conceptually loaded presence.
