You show me
My carcass,

I come back
To my flesh.

migration, 2018

artist residency, Art Ichol, India

Migration was the topic of the artist residency at the Icho Visual Arts Center, which we discussed with anthropologis and artist Katharina Poggendorf-Kakar. The classical structure of the pictur frame became the material point of departure for my work within the two weeks of the residency. Metaphorically speaking, my ceramic objects materialize dynamic tensions of cultural imprints, oscillating betwee rigidity and shelter, isolation and exchange. Local artist Priyal Kāliyug
responded to my objects with two poems.
