Publisher Note
The work “Gestalten” displays photographs of temporary sculptures, composed of people and all their possessions of clothing. As an everyday companion, our second skin is as present as it is invisible. It is a means of communication, an expres- sion of status, an archive, a shelter, and a habitat. So close to our bodies, clothing functions as a mirror of the interior and a boundary to the outside world.
By extending the body through its own clothes, the garments come to the fore, but as a matter of material, as a part of the body and its history, as a manifold deputy of the person. A mass of identity, culture, and memory, an archive of a period of time. In the picture, this creates a very strong presence of the characters, although in some cases they are barely recognizable.
