Statement: Theresa Schuker love for found plastic objects let her begin very detailed and philosophical research about the pollution from this vary material. Her work MEDIATING BODIES — encounters with plastic tells the story of a material that has become so highly important in the Anthropocene. It is the materials focus on the function which leads to the problem: as soon as the purpose is fulfilled, the material loses its value and our attention. Theresa Schuker is convinced that the absence of the aesthetic in the material is responsible for this problem. Aesthetic is derived from the Greek word aisthesis and means perceiving, feeling, and understanding. Only when we perceive something, feel it through our sensory experiences, we can understand it — we regard it as aesthetic. The collection MEDIATING BODIES transform found plastic objects into textile elements and allow the observer unknown access to the beauty and qualities of everyday plastic items. Theresa Schuker shows very convincingly that plastic contains more values than just its function.
