Timo Kube very literally makes use of the translucence of fabric when he stretches fine silk fabric in different hues over mirrors that are mounted on wood in the series Untitled Silk. The mirrors absorb the space including the viewers and throw them back as it were, albeit transformed by the effect of the veil. Here, the veiled mirror does not conceal any stable (pictorial) reality, but instead always generates reality anew from various light situations and viewing angles.

` Kube thinks his materials in their multifaceted quality and in relation to human perceptions and life - conditions change, new connections and compositions emerge.
Kube´s objects and wall pieces investigate the aesthetic characteristics of selected substances, an applied materials science which intertwines with a distinctive ethic of sustainability: rather than discarding raw materials, he feeds them back into the cycle of his creative process.´
