Genau Besehn
wax, hair, fiberglass
6‘ floor space

Wenn man das zierliche Naeschen
Von seiner liebsten Braut
Durch ein Vergroesserungsglaeschen
Naeher beschaut,
Dann zeigen sich haarige Berge,
Dass einem graut

-Joachim Ringelnatz

With “Genau besehn” (to look at something closer) I intend to formulate something that is as much alluring as it is repulsive. The suggested anthropomorphic growth keeps the work in a state of familiar absurdity that forces one to leap from reading to feeling.
