Interview with Asta Cink & Erika Farina.

10.03 - 07.04.2021
Asta Cink and Erika Farina expand their work and bring it to a new level by creating contact points between the textile surfaces and the analog images in a joint exhibition.
TBA - performance by Sophia Hörmann

In their exhibition EXTENDED SURFACES, Asta Cink and Erika Farina discourse on the perception of surfaces on the body and on the image. Through a collaborative photographic study exploring surfaces of clothing and their textures, the two use different media to talk about the relationship between motif and photography. Just as the textile surfaces are photographed and translated to an ostensibly two-dimensional layer, the surface becomes an image, the image becomes a body, the texture apparel a structure. And while the images find a body, the clothing loses the wearers.
