The catalogue Tunnel presents works from 2018 to 2023 by ceramicist Johannes Nagel (*1979). The
majority of the objects were formed by the artist's hands digging into sand to form cavities
negative spaces which were then molded and revealed using liquid porcelain. By doing this
says co-author Esther Niebel the artist imprints his own presence in to the objects. In
addition to the extraordinary shapes thus created expressive colors and the painting of the
objects play a central role in Nagel's work. Accompanied by essays the excavated and cast
pieces are presented in full-page photographs in a staccato portrayal of objects and ideas.
