A hole is invisible without its surrounding material but where is the material that originally filled the hole? ‘Cutout from sculpture’, commissioned by the Austrian art publication Quart Heft für Kultur Tirol, published in issue no. 39/22, corresponds to ‘rubber works’, a series of narrow strips from sheet rubber with holes in various sizes. Furthermore, it relates to Wibmer’s video performance ‘Relay’ that explores the interplay of presence and absence.
