Serie: Hands-on
The prints show drawn hands that appear to hold an amorphous, meteorite-like glass object. The background is coloured, the drawing of the hand is black and white. The position of the hand varies between the images. All views show the hand up to the wrist. The object held is placed in the centre of the image. It is about twice or three times the volume of the hand. It is unclear what the wrapped object is.
. It resembles a meteorite or a lava formation. It is also possible that it is a replica of the first stone objects, which show traces of human processing using stone wedges. The circular hollows, which the objects have in different places, indicate this. The objects span a time frame that extends from the beginning of human civilisation to the present day, embedding the question of starting a family in a temporal context. But perhaps they are also extreme enlargements of grains of sand under a microscope, as they also appear in Anna Gohmert other work, such as ‘Das ist (ja) voll mein Ding’ as ‘sand in the gears’, which refers to the small disruptions of uniform (social) structures and brings about change through the influence of a supposedly tiny thing.
