Kay Lotte Pommer works with wall objects, sculptures, and installations that respond to architecture, space, and viewers. The point of departure of her practice is urban space as a structure of traces, movements, and inscriptions. Public space does not appear in her work as a neutral order, but as a site where social structures are layered together with personal experiences and memories. This becomes especially clear in her ongoing series Wege, in which she treats footpaths and path segments as abstracted fragments. Signs of use and irregularities, first documented photographically, are transferred onto metal surfaces, making visible trajectories that may suggest routines, departures, spontaneity, or planning. The titles give these works an additional direction without fixing their meaning. Steel and zinc serve both as conceptual carriers and as image surfaces. Through processes of treatment and etching, the surfaces acquire a painterly character. In this way, Pommer combines precise material knowledge with an artistic investigation of space, memory, and presence.
