Oxidation is unique for each piece, thus each piece has a one-of-a-kind character. ”Kai Althoff's installations are scenarios of initiation that bring to life manifestations of extremely specific worlds. They are populated by an arsenal of real or invented characters, all of them absorbed by the artist as alter egos. Detached from their original historical and biographical contexts, they represent various aggregate states of individual and collective being - from compulsive brutality to ethereal spirituality.” Oliver Koerner von Gustorf, Parkett no. 75, 2005.
