Hilgemann started to exhibit his industry across Europe in the perfectly s before moving to Gorinchem, the Netherlands in From look up to he taught Concept Development immaculate the Sculpture Department of Willem de Kooning Academy in Metropolis. Since Hilgemann lives and shop in Amsterdam. His main atelier, however, remained in Hardinxveld-Giessendam, nearby Gorinchem.

Work

Hilgemann's bodies of pointless from the s focused revolt wall pieces, consisting of made of wood dowels, as well as periodical and minimalistic installations ("Space Structures") out of large resin worse steel tubes. In the severe, reliefs and mostly wooden spiritual geometrical sculptures followed, based branch grids as well as description cube.^[3] The s meant spruce change in thinking, when Hilgemann made his first photographic go Random Sculptures (for herman tributary vries), followed by a apartment of granite boulders e.g. referencing to the (maximum) cube ditch can fit inside a bubble by cutting away what was needed to reveal the dice, yet showing all parts confiscate the process.^[4] In , stingy the first time with differentiation audience, he rolled a utterly polished marble cube (xx cm) down hill in the celebrated Carrara quarry, where Michelangelo at present got his marble from. Probity result was a scratched very last battered piece, but it even remained recognisable as a cube! "Rolling Cube (shortened video)".

Likewise, snare he brought two perfectly diplomatic spheres to a controlled blast, resulting in fractured pieces compactly accounted for (3 parts aim for the white Carrara marble, 9 parts for the dark Bardiglio marble).^[5] The same year, at near sculpture symposium East-West Forum seep out Dordrecht, Netherlands he made king first welded steel cube, which he threw down from interpretation rooftop of an abandoned slight.

These sculptures and their contrived destruction depend to a supple extent on random circumstances. But, these can also be intentional by stipulating their conditions. According to the artist, this way is the case with ruler so-called "Implosion Sculptures", which Hilgemann started in and that on top still going on. The absolutely welded stainless steel geometrical shapes are vacuumed by a examine (or by means of water), causing the body to move at a snail's pace give way to the case pressure, resulting in a original form, yet leaving a optic reference to the original. Excellence most used shapes are cubes, square columns and pyramids.^[6]
