On the outside are the legs. Even further out are the toes or
fingers. There are also noses. Today I saw some of them again. We came together
as a group, together with our teeth. It was a beautiful day. We talked to each
other, and no one was afraid. Sometimes we are afraid, then our teeth chatter
after we get up and don’t stop until we are back in bed. Often, however, and
this is fortunate, there is never more than one chattering nose per day, and
this one can then lean on the others, and when it does, it is part of a group
with extremely stable bones. Just the other day, one of us said, bones can be
loose, but skin still holds them together.

Clara Bahlsen and Sophie Aigner engage in a dialogue in this
exhibition, where photography meets fired clay. They assemble human limbs such
as fingers made of clay, decomposed stones, and stones that are thought to have
once been human. They like to appear in groups, though it remains open whether
these are accidental or forced arrangements. And then there are holes, which
appear repeatedly, for example in sand and nose. Their end is not in sight.
