3 Graces - Thank you very much In a triptych, abstract patterns of light meet a human body that covers and reveals itself. The light patterns seem to be enveloped and absorbed by the body. The abstracted imagery is immersive. At the same time it offers visual tactility – the sense of touch is addressed through the sense of sight. There are physical touches beyond our horizon of experience. The title 3 Graces - Thank you very much refers to a motif that has been known since antiquity, which allegorically stands for the ideals of the feminine: grace and charm, beauty, joy and cheerfulness. They are abstract aesthetic values comming from a socio-cultural backgroundt and they are projected onto the female and are repeatedly confirmed as patterns up to the present day. As an artifact from the genealogy of gender roles, they influence and manipulate, like the patterns of light in the video. They penetrate, are internalized, and bring into line to be carried like a burdensome legacy if not critically reflected. A polemical thank you very much is not surprising. credits
