In "COLOURFAST," Lauterbach's Time Capsule Series becomes a visual symphony of existential contemplation and artistic innovation. The artist's skillful layering of ordinary objects with hidden narratives transforms each piece into a time-traveling vessel of personal truths and societal reflections. Through the meticulous arrangement of printed text and common artifacts, Lauterbach invites viewers to unravel the intricate web of memories and philosophies encapsulated within, challenging us to ponder the ephemeral nature of existence and the enduring power of human creativity. This work stands as a testament to the artist's ability to transcend traditional boundaries of art, offering a profound meditation on the intersection of materiality and metaphysical realms.

TIME CAPSULE SERIES: A reflection on time, memory, and the transience of existence, Lauterbach’s Time Capsules are multi- layered, brutalist manifestations of lived experiences. Initiated in 1990, this ongoing series—set to reach 100 unique pieces—encodes objects of ordinary use, preserving them as contemporary artifacts for future discovery. Each object hides easter eggs in the form of printed text and objects of common use hidden inside them. Beyond their material form, the capsules capture the essence of moments, thoughts, and philosophies, crystallizing them into physical testimonies of individual authenticity. Influenced by his late friend Hasso von Blücher, Lauterbach’s work bridges the gap between tangible reality and the unseen dimensions of knowledge and spirituality.
