Floating Pillar powerfully embodies Roland Berger’s distinctive play of form, movement and balance. The polished bronze sculpture consists of stacked, biomorphic volumes that rise fluidly on top of one another to form a column. Despite the weight of the material, there is an impression of lift—as if the mass were pushing upward and growing from within.
Berger anchors this biomorphy in a distinctly surreal corporeality: the bulges press against one another, appear to be in a state of growth and seem to expand. This produces a static kinetics—a dynamic perceived as movement within an object at rest. At the same time, clear verticality and precise balance consolidate this tension into a striking, constructivist sense of space and equilibrium.
With Floating Pillar, Roland Berger achieves a sculptural composition that not only places opposites side by side, but translates them into a coherent interplay of mass, movement and balance.
