Carsten Nicolai's art unfolds as a spatial investigation of form, structure, and perception.

Parallel Lines Cross at Infinity focuses on Nicolai’s sculptural and installative practice, presenting a decade of works that translate abstract data and natural phenomena into precise spatial interventions. His installations often function as physical experiments, where invisible forces—such as magnetic fields, gravity, or time—are rendered tangible through carefully designed materials and arrangements.

Using a vocabulary of patterns, grids, codes, and calculated geometries, Nicolai constructs environments that are at once minimal and sensorially intense. Neon tubes, screens, metal frames, and modular structures become part of a visual system in which scientific principles are experienced through space, light, and material tension.

Rather than simply illustrating scientific concepts, Nicolai builds situations in which viewers physically encounter the mechanics of perception and knowledge. His installations visualize the imperceptible, stage states of suspension, and reorganize the relations between nature, technology, and the body.

Parallel Lines Cross at Infinity offers insight into a practice where sculpture, architecture, and conceptual art converge—inviting readers to engage with Nicolai’s works as spatial propositions that illuminate the structures of reality itself.
