Das Tiefste am Menschen 
ist seine Haut


Solo exhibition16. Sept. – 28. Oct. 2022Curator: Dr. Dorothée Bauerle-Willert

In this exhibition, Blanck will present his first interactive and new practices. Surface and space, the body and its shadows, the visible and the invisible form a dazzling liaison in Leon Emanuel Blanck’s objects.

The material of his art are X-ray films, which he cuts, collages, folds into bodies, sews together, accumulates and assembles into substantial sculptures. These structures can be arranged in very different ways in the space, they can be hung, laid, put on the plinth or attached to the wall. They always connect with the space, correspond and communicate with each other, and initiate changes of view between difference and repetition. In each case, they are a physical counterpart that holds form and freedom, similarity and strangeness in suspension.
