Direct, raw and honest by Ilona Schwippel

How can an object be thought of that will adorn the body and communicate with viewers? How do we think of our bodies and how do we think of the bodies of others? 

The body as a volume and a volume of the body. It is a matter of presence, subtle and discreet, raw and radical. It concerns inside and outside, a volume that our own bodies are to accommodate, protect and to which they give expression.
 
An invitation to engage in dialogue and play with positions and relativities that shift standards and help to individually assess significances.
