Humor is an area which shehas exam<strong>in</strong>ed before, for <strong>in</strong>stance <strong>in</strong>‘Repetition and Dispersion/4 jokes become5 jokes (economy)’, 2011. Through repetition,she lets the jokes <strong>in</strong> her sculpture fallap<strong>art</strong>. <strong>The</strong>y are stripped from their orig<strong>in</strong>alcontext, and only the underly<strong>in</strong>g structureof humor rema<strong>in</strong>s. Reveal<strong>in</strong>g structuresthrough repetition is an important aspect <strong>in</strong>the oeuvre of Falke Pisano.<strong>The</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>gs of Evi V<strong>in</strong>gerl<strong>in</strong>g mightseem abstract, but they actually refer to theworld around us. By unravel<strong>in</strong>g whatshe sees, stripp<strong>in</strong>g the context and pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>git as it is, she discloses the hiddenbeauty of the ord<strong>in</strong>ary. In her own words,she rids the object of its symbolic andhistorical mean<strong>in</strong>g. <strong>The</strong> result looks almosteffortless, and above all very pure.
