Discover What Lies Within Elemental Monuments

Each page offers a glimpse into Popper’s world, where ancient archetypes, sustainable materials, and light converge, creating spaces that feel sacred and timeless. Popper’s towering figures, set in landscapes from deserts to lush forests, embody a deep reverence for the earth and our place within it.
Nature and Mythology Intertwined
Imagine stepping into a story that feels as old as time itself, where myths come to life in the forms of towering, open-hearted figures. In Elemental Monuments, Popper’s sculptures draw from ancient archetypes, echoing stories of love, survival, and unity with nature. You’ll meet Ven a la Luz, an open-hearted woman standing in Tulum, inviting us to reconnect with our environment, and Leto, whose figure symbolizes both protection and resilience. Umi, inspired by Gaia and the feminine spirit of earth, embodies the nurturing power of nature. Each piece brings age-old stories into the present, but to understand their full depth, you’ll need to see these sculptures in all their glory within the pages of this iconic book.
An Eco-Conscious Approach
Beneath Popper’s artistry lies a deep respect for the earth, reflected in his choice of sustainable materials. As you turn the pages, you’ll witness how each sculpture harmonizes with its surroundings, crafted from reclaimed wood, bamboo, and fibers that mirror the landscapes they inhabit. In works like Boom Shaman, a guardian made of salvaged materials, and Modem Swamp, a meditation on self-discovery, Popper’s commitment to nature is clear. These sculptures don’t just stand on the land; they blend into it, a reminder of our responsibility to protect what is fragile.
Transforming Spaces with Light
As the sun sets, Popper’s sculptures reveal a hidden world, transforming through mesmerizing light and projection mapping. In collaboration with light artists, Popper turns his works into radiant beacons that captivate and invite contemplation. Pieces like Reflections at Afrikaburn become spaces for introspection, while Earth Sentinels in Bali, illuminated by projected light, creates an ethereal experience that feels both natural and otherworldly. This magical transformation at dusk will leave you wanting to know more about how each piece shifts in light and meaning.
A Sacred Experience in Contemporary Art
Imagine walking into a space that feels like a sanctuary – Popper’s sculptures evoke that sensation of entering a sacred realm. Transmission, set in the Mojave Desert, speaks of cosmic connection, its open hands inviting you to pause and reflect. Heartwood, shaped to resemble both tree rings and human fingerprints, draws connections between nature and humanity, and Hallow opens a space for viewers to confront vulnerability and find resilience. These are not just sculptures; they are places for contemplation, where viewers become part of the art itself.
