About this artwork
A landmark. Bird feathers and animal hair tremble on the gnarled trunk. Signs that a clan might have left behind as a mark on the path in a long-gone era. A sign, perhaps, for those who follow.
"Wegmarke" is a question for the viewer and, of course, for me, the artist myself. Where am I, and where does the path lead me? Using archaic materials (stone, wood, natural hair, and feathers), I want to tap into the basal layers of our subconscious to… question the core of our self.
The wood was found in the Baltic Sea. The seagull feathers hang from a thin steel wire covered with camel hair. The stone-like base is made of Ytong stone coated with Stukko Lustro (a lime filler).
The landmark has already been at several exhibitions.

Credentials
- Works on commission
The works of Berlin artist Ilja Mlosch operate in a space beyond photographic hyperrealism and painting. They unsettle the viewer when, beneath the obvious beauty of a subject, beneath the layers of material, the innermost, vulnerable essence of the depicted subject flashes through.
“I have great faith in the simplicity, in the delicacy of the elaborate interior.”
Ilja Mlosch has long been exploring the possibilities of different materials to make this delicacy visible and invite us on a journey into the innermost being of things.
