The sculptures signal a drift from traditional concepts of “anatomy as destiny”, emphasizing today’s relation between industry and the body that is produced, purchased and modified. Readymade industrial objects [mannequin dolls] were cut, disassembled and impregnated with metal strings, symbolizing the “wired” bloodstream of today’s human.
The focus rests on the anatomy, questioning what lays under the surface of body and appearance. The smooth, curvy architecture of the “perfect body” is destabilized and transformed with pieces of metal, resulting in a new, hybrid body-architecture, crude and elegant at the same time.
The installation features an accompanying soundtrack by Lukatoyboy, comprised of sounds made in contact with various metals, in city dumps, construction sites, streets, as well as in the artist’s studio during the making of sculptures.
