The exhibition “Freefall” explores the fascinating interplay between gravity and visual art through the unique parachute works of Clemens Wolf. In this exhibition, the fold is not only considered an aesthetic element but also a dynamic form created by falling and shaped by gravity. Wolf’s works demonstrate how gravity significantly influences the shaping of folds, thereby becoming a formative element in the artwork. The worn-out, ruined parachutes serve not only as the source of the folds frozen in place by epoxy resin but also as a conceptual meta-level.

Visitors to the exhibition can view a series of parachute works produced in various years, differing in color and form. These works are not only a testament to the artistic engagement with the material and its behavior under the influence of gravity but also an expression of Wolf’s long-standing preoccupation with the themes of folding and falling.

A very particular highlight of the exhibition is the parachute sculptures in the stairwell, which offer a three-dimensional extension of the theme and transform the space into a total work of art that accompanies visitors on their journey through the exhibition. “Freefall” invites viewers to explore the beauty and complexity of Wolf’s creative process and embark on a sensory journey that sharpens the awareness of the omnipresent, yet often overlooked, force of gravity.
