Georg Herold draws inspiration from astronomical concepts and transforms them into a playful, tangible form. His starting point is the phenomenon known as the “Pfannkuchentheorie” (pancake theory), in which matter, influenced by rotation and gravity, condenses into flat, disc-shaped structures—much like those seen in galaxies or gas clouds.

With characteristic humor, Herold brings this cosmic order into everyday life, arranging his signature material—simple roof battens—into a sculpture that evokes stacked, layered planes. The work balances scientific idea, material concreteness, and wit, making the structure of the cosmos both accessible and delightfully ironic.
