About this work

This sheet has red triangles scattered across it, each labeled with a German word like *Feld* (field) or *Raum* (space). The paper looks old, with some edges torn. The words are written in pencil, and the triangles are painted in flat, bright red. The artist used simple shapes to label everyday things—like *Handlung* (action) or *Körper* (body). It’s like a puzzle where each word points to a shape. Next, check out Franz Erhard Walther to see how he turned basic materials into interactive art.
