Floating Pillar exemplifies Roland Berger’s unique sculptural language. Composed of stacked, softly rounded bronze volumes, the work evokes rising droplets or inflated forms. Despite the material weight of the bronze, the sculpture radiates a surreal lightness, appearing to defy gravity in its upward thrust.
At the same time, it conveys a distinct expressionist physicality—the forms press against one another, bulge and expand, as if breathing. An inner energy pulses through the composition, giving it a sense of kinetic tension despite its stillness. This dynamic is held in check by a clearly articulated vertical structure, creating a constructivist sense of space and balance.
With Floating Pillar, Roland Berger fuses opposites—lightness and mass, movement and stability, sensuality and structure—into a poetic and precise sculptural form.
