«Silhouettes cut from sheet metal occasionally take a three-dimensional shape. [...] Often also placed freely in space. Minimalist insofar as the 'sculpture', seen from the side, appears as a line in space and can be experienced from the front as a surface in space.» René Acht, quoted in: Wilhelm-Hack-Museum, Ludwigshafen, Kunstmuseum Singen and Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau (Eds.), René Acht, Lyrisch-Konkret, Cologne 2021, p. 154.
