Instabile Körper – Unstable Bodies
»In the cycle “Unstable Bodies”, Robert Staudinger captures the moment of a ten-thousandth of a second in which ten thousand particles converge. In this brief moment, countless tiny elements form imposing structures, to create a whole which, in the next tenthousandth of a second, will have vanished for ever. A freeze-frame of transience.
Through our becoming aware of the mass that forms the basis of every magnificent scenario, the world reveals itself to us in all its detail; Being presents itself to us in its entirety as endlessly multi-faceted.«

»We all know Hermann Nitsch’s poured paintings. They are what remains of his ephemeral Mysteries Theatre. For me Robert Staudinger’s Unstable Bodies are poured paintings carried out in space and for today: a physicist’s staging of the greater whole, of an order based on chance. The images are created as soon as the particles thrown at and on to one another have come to a weightless state of rest, before then immediately succumbing to gravitation. This scene occurs incessantly out there in the infinite and plays out just as incessantly on the scale of the microscopically small. And the other thing I treasure so much about the Unstable Bodies, Robert’s poured images, is that they are free of any religious pathos and – precisely for this reason – so magnificent, so pure.«
