Manfred Wakolbinger deals with recurring themes in his groups of works, such as that of the pedestal with its double function as carrier of the sculpture and as autonomous sculptural piece. He has never clearly drawn a dividing line between them; instead, there is an indissoluble correspondence between them, being interdependent as they are. The experimental genesis of the pedestal can be traced from group to group, while its proper distinction can sometimes be recognized only by virtue of its material.
