10 artist from 2 countries tread their exhibition like the ring of a wrestling match.
Freistil- Wrestling: Germany/ USA
Kunstverein Speyer, Germany, 2015
Along my dispute with wrestling I am thinking about polished bodies that become a moving sculpture but incapable to hide their human character: The rhythm of breathing and muscle contraction, the interaction with an opponent and the smell. Attraction and fascination have to declare their fight on repulsion and disgust and compete for victory. My kinetic flexing and collapsing wrestler named Mr U is stuck exactly in between.
