gilbert flöck lives and works in his studio in cologne. he is educated as a social pedagogue and says:’ I am not a social pedagogue. but I earn my money with social pedagogy.’ – but his instincts formed him to an artist.

when I asked him about his favourite work, he immediatly speaks about his ‘moving’ sculptures. figures consisting of mdf and links who give the impression of movement in a sexual situation. his use of wheels or links is remarkable. quite recently he used to work in a doss house. and maybe he wants to create an idea of detachment in his work. the detachment of the homeless because they have to be on the move.
