Skin is a surface of touch,
To touch with the fingers,
the lips, the body.
Giving sense and receiving sense.
Exposing our limits.
Enabling our separateness
as well as our sharing.
Words are symbols of sense.
To touch ones feelings,
to touch on an idea,
to touch the soul.
The use of the grid is non-expressive and depersonalizes the body presenting it as a curiosity of mankind. Exposing the whole surface texture of the body on three, body height panels with recognizable and unrecognizable pieces. Parts of a whole yet whole in themselves. The words on the fourth panel are associated with skin from Jean-Luc Nancy’s text ‘Corpus’ and other sources, randomly paired.
