The Vierkantrohre Serie D (1967) by Charlotte Posenenske (1930-1985) consists of six different geometric bodies made of sheet metal. This kit can be assembled in different ways. So, unlike classical sculptures, there is no limitation; the work can be continued and changed to respond to a wide variety of spaces. On the occasion of her exhibition at CCA Berlin, we photographed some of these shafts in various public and semi-public places in Berlin.

The chain as an object of connection, how it interacts with the body and clothing, how it tumbles and clings together.

As a spontaneous reaction to the isolation experienced during lockdown in spring 2020, the Post Intimacies series focuses on depicting youth. Models were photographed via zoom using a variety of artificial backgrounds as an escape from the boredom caused by isolation at home.

Together with stylist Nicole Walker, we spent a day in nature in search of the pure joy and immediacy it brings.

My roots often take me back to nature, to the alpine areas of Switzerland where I was born and raised. But it is only now that I am beginning to realize how close I was to nature there, how utterly beautiful it is and, how essential it is to appreciate, nurture and highlight this beauty.

“Perfect is a performance set in what looks like a photo studio: a white sheet of thick paper rolls down the wall to form an impromptu background for the reification of the body in view, and bright white lights (glaring sources of heat all) shine onto this provisory stage – in other words, we are already in a world designed for the thrill of looking, for scopophilia.”

A series of different stagings, which focus on the spontaneous during the encounter between photographer and model. The image sequences of photography and moving image constitute a more holistic portrait.

In March 2020, Wu Tsang and her collaborators Moved by the Motion shot a film titled The Show's Over with the ensemble of Schauspielhaus Zürich. The piece was inspired by the poem come on, get it by Fred Moten and the Report from Occupied Territory by James Baldwin, exploring underground streams of resistance and the politics of (in)visibility. Here: The Show's Over set and behind the scenes.

Body Leaks is a platform for stakeholders who encourage, educate, and inspire, a platform for female empowerment and interconnection. In collaboration with the outstanding design studio Deutsche + Japaner, an inauguration campaign discovers the female body in detail, bringing the female to the fore.
