Born in Cologne in 1967, Carlo Bach lives and works in Trieste. His main concern is with the patient work of recovering and 'recycling' industrial residue and abandoned objects - literal, authentic 'objets trouvés' carefully re-inventoried and re-described. So, for example, the artist works upon old rusty lamps which, by means of hidden sources of light and the insertion of old, yellowing photographs, are transformed into meaningful and evocative memories. Recollection and memory are the 'themes' around which the entire work of Carlo Bach revolves: as in the lamps, so in the more recent sand castles, those 'first', ephemeral artistic forms of our childhood, which he encloses in solid showcases of glass and iron, thereby turning them into oxymoronic presences of at once solidity and fragility.
