Those shapeless objects seem to be suspended in small nests and their wooden hearts come from acacias, cherry and olive trees. But, no matter the wood, each figure was worked to a point in which all imperfections have disappeared.

Comte's artistic vocabulary includes convex and concave curves, amoebas that can relate to other examples in Art history by Hans Arp, Barbara hepworth, Isamu Noguchi and even Brancusi.

The upper floor of the gallery displays another artist: Annette Kelm (Stuttgart, 1975), with her exhibition "Pizza". Helm uses photography to recreate the world of daily objects.

With neutral lighting and objective vision, Kelm copies the objects, with hyper-realism.  It's more of a documentation than a figurative representation of them.

All the photographed objects have little value, things bought in thrift shops for little money. The way they are exhibited makes them abandon their true nature and enter the world of cultural meaning.

Kelm's artworks, as also Comte's, are enriched by the overwhelming architecture. The temple certainly does not overshadow the exhibitions, in spite of how powerful it appears in the eyes of visitors.
