Skinformer
2020/2021, leather, wood, 150 × 190 cm
Skinformer by Aneta Grzeszykowska offers a radical elaboration of earlier soft sculptural objects created by the artist, a phenomenal view into the separate existential universe created by her. The work, in the form of a relief tailored from black leather, is a spiritual echo of children’s carnival games, clothed in a disturbing, fetishistic costume. It oversteps the safe boundary of the flat image and shocks with its carnal power.
