For the exhibition «Neuer Staffel» an extensive series of sculptural works was created for the first time. For this Sandri works again with a systemic principle. The starting point of all works shown is 3 wooden sticks, 2 wooden panels of equal length and neon pigments in yellow, red and blue. With this fixed set, a kind of fragmentary modular construction kit, the artist plays with the various possibilities of combination. Out of this, he creates settings that remain ambiguous in their appearance and functionality. Despite the strict self-imposed guidelines, fragile-looking objects emerge from, which look like personalized characters playfully balance between equilibrium and imbalance. As if by themselves, they shine and reflect light from seemingly unknown origins. While Sandri‘s earlier works are strongly committed to monochrome painting and minimal art, this series opens a new chapter in his work with which a poetic moment enters his practice and expresses the fragility of the life surrounding us.
