Great Cosmic Wall adds a new chapter to Dahlem’s oeuvre. Formally and in terms of content, it deals with specific borderline areas; be it those between microcosm and macrocosm, mundane everyday life and transcendent experience, or between order and chaos. Accordingly, Great Cosmic Wall can also be read as an allusive metaphor for the invisible barriers that separate our subjective experience of reality from the infinite: the mist between us and the universe; the curtain of light and shadow that separates space-time and matter. With Great Cosmic Wall, Björn Dahlem attempts not only to illustrate this borderline areas, but also to penetrate them with his sculptures.
