The sculptures of the PX series, which Dorothee Golz began in 1989 and has been working on ever since, draw inspiration from everyday objects from the artist’s surroundings. Selected features or set pieces are then combined to create new objects. Features such as the surface finish, colours or tactility of previous sculptures are merged with later works, ensuring the ongoing development of the PX series from generation to generation. Dorothee Golz sees it as an evolutionary process, to be interpreted as an analogy to human genetics and Mendel’s laws of heredity. The complex “family” relations of the PX sculptures are shown in a specially developed computer programme, similar to a family tree.
