Fireball is a very special limited-edition ceramic artwork by Benedikt Hipp conceived and crafted to coincide with the exhibition ‘Eppur si muove – und sie bewegt sich doch!’ June 2022, here at the Japanischen Palais.
The work, produced by London-based art collective Assembly Line, takes the meteor as its starting point. Fireball harnesses the mysterious power of these cosmic wanderers to create a unique set of 20 individual objects.
Each Fireball was forged in the fiery furnace of Benedikt Hipp’s home-built kiln in Bavaria, at astronomical temperatures. Like celestial meteorites they contain not only cosmic metals and materials but are also considered to be the ancient symbolic messengers of the Gods. Historically, meteorites represent the tangible link between this earth and the heavens.
Hipp’s works are both ancient and modern, digging deep into the past whilst reflecting on a dream-like future. As the only objects that will break the museum’s orbit and travel to new places unknown, the purchaser plays their part in spreading the mercurial meaning of the fabulous Fireball.
