Take me to your skin (2016)
Immer mehr Menschen flüchten vor der zunehmenden sozialen Vereinsamung in Illusionswelten. Die vermeintlich perfekten Scheinwelten ziehen diese scheinbar realitätsscheuen und sich unperfekt fühlenden Menschen magisch an. Memen, Alteregos oder Avatare verkörpern das eigene Ich im Cyberspace und verbergen die reale physische Erscheinung. Lebensechte Puppen ziehen in die Wohnungen und die Leben der Menschen, denen das soziale Miteinander längst abhanden gekommen ist, ein, sei es einfach zur Gesellschaft oder als Sexualpartner. Der Maßstab sind perfekte Körper und Gesichter der virtuellen und künstlichen Puppenwelten.
Die Serie „Take me to your skin“ nimmt sich der Körperlichkeit dieser Illusionswelten an. Sie markiert den Punkt der Verschmelzung von realen und künstlichen Körpern zu vermeintlich „perfekteren“ und sexuell funktionsfähigeren Figuren, sozusagen „the best of both worlds“.
Many people face the increasing social isolation in many areas of our society by escaping in worlds of illusion. The fake – perfect- world attracts people feeling imperfect, being afraid of reality. Memes, Alteregos and Avatars embody the ego in cyberspace and conceal the real physical appearance. Life-size dolls move into their homes and lives for company or as a sexual partner.
Perfect bodies and faces of virtual and artificial doll worlds are the new benchmark.
The series "Take me to your skin" takes on the physicality of these illusional worlds. It represents the fusion of real and artificial bodies to supposedly "more perfect" and sexually “more attractive” and functional figures, so to speak "the best of both worlds".
