Human Insides

The initial idea of this project was, to present an imaginative and decorative view of the inside of the human body. An important aspect during the project development was, to express the different faces of life until death and the transitoriness of individuals. My reflections concerning the preciousness of human life are always linked to thoughts of momentariness and the unique human conditions hence resulting. To realise this concept, I used the Electroforming-technology, in order to express the thin-skinned and the vulnerability of human organs. I developed objects with fictive, dynamic and organic appearance. The shapes and the surfaces describe different conditions of growths, mutations, sickness and the limitations of the human body. The material I used for this work is silver, dyed in different colours.
