The visible and the invisible by Magdalena Schweizer

Magdalena Schweizer Textile
The visible and the invisible
2021

Magdalena Schweizer's is all about body positivity. Her focus is on the human skin as an aesthetically beautiful and important organ; the outermost layer of the human body. Most of the time, however, this is covered by clothing and other adornments. These added layers make our skin largely invisible. Magdalena Schweitzer's ambition is to make the skin shine again. From a distance, all skin looks smooth. Zooming in on different skin surfaces shows the viewer details, very fine and stronger structures. The detailed, as well as enlarged representation of the skin on different materials, is intended to create awareness, acceptance and positive appreciation of wrinkles and three-dimensional structures of human skin. Her transparent works as well as printed cloths direct the viewer's eye and highlight the invisible.
