For Liste 2025, SOPHIE TAPPEINER is pleased to present a solo booth by Angelika Loderer. A selection of her sculptural works are displayed within an archival shelf, a gesture that recontextualizes the sculptures not as singular monumental objects, but as part of an evolving ecology of materials, processes, and meaning. By choosing this mode of presentation, the installation invokes the logic of the archive—a site of memory, classification, and latency—and positions Loderer’s works as living documents within a system of temporal, bodily, and environmental interrelations.
This mode of display also resonates with Loderer’s sustained interest in the tension between permanence and ephemerality, natural systems and human intervention, and the trace as a sculptural event. The presentation mostly draws from her recent institutional exhibition Soil Fictions at Belvedere 21, where she delved into themes of the subterranean and invisible forces shaping both material and ecological worlds.
Across these works, Angelika Loderer constructs a practice that registers unseen transformations, deferred disappearances, and the quiet endurance of matter. Her sculptures are residues and reliquaries of touch, pressure, accident, and collaboration—sculptures that remember what formed them.
