Sculpture in public space, 2012 / 2016.
Translucent concrete, photo on glass. 320 x 235 cm (plinth depth: 120 cm). Fodor's Wall is a border wall piece made of fine concrete with light-conducting fibers, so that through the seemingly "normal"
concrete surface one can perceive light and shadow, silhouettes and movement. The work thematizes inclusion and exclusion, protection and confinement. Fodor has direct experience with all of this due to his own biography as a refugee.
Two incompatible images are brought into congruence: The repellent character of a real barrier wall and the attractiveness of the "beautiful" translucent wall that invites a playful interaction (mimes behind the wall, smartphone
photos of the silhouettes, etc.).
Fodor's Wall was created in 2016 in the framework of the school of kyiv department Vienna (curators: Georg Schöllhammer and Hedwig Saxenhuber).
