In glühendem Rot liegt eine Figur in Kobaltblau: nackt, jung, schutzlos. Sie ist
umgeben von einer dichten, beinahe übermächtigen Menge entindividualisierter
Körper. Silhouetten und übergroße Hände – greifend oder starr vor Entsetzen –
rahmen die Szene ein. Die als einzige liegende Figur erscheint wie ein Neuzugang
in einem zeremoniellen Kreis: Frischfleisch, eine fremdartige Energiequelle, ein
Objekt der Begierde.


Was zunächst wie eine Initiierung wirkt – eine symbolische Aufnahme in eine
gesellschaftlich geächtete, zugleich aber vom Betroffenen begehrte Gemeinschaft
–, offenbart sich als möglicher Übergriff. Die übergroßen Wesen starren gebannt –
nicht aus Empathie, sondern aus Gier, Faszination und sexuellem Hunger. Es ist
ein Moment geladener Ambivalenz: zwischen Kontakt und Kontrollverlust,
zwischen Anziehung und Bedrohung, zwischen Verbindung und Ansteckung.
Verbreitung / Contagion thematisiert die Angst vor Kontrollverlust: vor
Vereinnahmung durch ein Kollektiv, vor der Unberechenbarkeit sexuellen
Begehrens, vor dem Ausgeliefertsein. Die Arbeit berührt gesellschaftliche Themen
wie HIV, sexualisierte Machtverhältnisse und Gruppendynamiken – aber auch
intime Fragen nach Reinheit, Verletzlichkeit und der Dialektik von Berührung,
körperlichem Austausch und Gefahr.


Die Szene ist rituell aufgeladen – eine kollektive Choreografie, in der Grenzen
verschwimmen: zwischen freiwilliger Hingabe und struktureller Überwältigung,
zwischen Sehnsucht und Projektion, zwischen Realität und Übergriff. Die
übergroßen Hände stehen zugleich für Schutz und Vereinnahmung – sie
symbolisieren Machtverhältnisse, kollektive Schuld und das Unausgesprochene,
das dennoch spürbar bleibt.
Das Bild spricht von Entgrenzung und Entmenschlichung, aber auch von tiefer
Sehnsucht nach Zugehörigkeit – und der Angst, sich darin aufzulösen. Es
konfrontiert mit gesellschaftlich und individuell geprägten Vorstellungen von

Reinheit und Gefahr, Intimität und Bedrohung, Körper und Kollektiv. Die
expressiven Kontraste zwischen kühlem Blau und glühendem Rot – einer Farbe,
die für Blut, Gefahr und das schummrige Licht in Darkrooms steht –, sowie
zwischen Licht und Dunkelheit, verstärken die emotionale Spannung. Die Körper
bleiben bewusst unscharf – Schattenwesen zwischen Realität und Projektion.
Diese Arbeit ist Teil eines Triptychons, gemeinsam mit Verbindung / Connection
und Verurteilung / Condemnation – drei Zustände im Spannungsfeld zwischen
Nähe und Distanz, Identität und Auflösung, Selbstschutz und Kontakt.

Better than thin plastic boards
I used to use one of those thin/bendable plastic cutting boards, thinking it's easier to transfer food into pots/pans from the board, but they tend to get bent in time and they're simply too thin and I hated the feeling of my knife pretty much hitting the kitchen counter. So, I decided to buy this set. I wanted to try a wooden board, but didn't want to spend too much in case I didn't like it, and this set had the perfect price tag and I liked the fact it came with 4 different sizes, so that I can see what size would actually be more useful. I've been using it for 2 months now they're doing great (except one of them started splitting a bit and started showing some strange black dots on the side... possibly mold??? though I can't think of any reason why mold would grow on just one of them. Maybe it's related to the fact that it's the only one that's cracking. And this is the only reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5.) Anyway, apart from that one, the rest are doing well and having 3 boards is plenty. I like the juice groove to avoid spilling liquid on the board, as it happened so many time using the bendable plastic boards. I'm handwashing them with dish soap. They seem to dry pretty fast, and so far no stains etc. on the surface. They're not super duper thick so even the largest one is not too difficult to handle. I sometimes use them to serve some food like appetizers, snacks, pizzas and sandwiches, etc. too!

Updated review: spitting and splintering
UPDATE: Originally, one of the boards arrived with a split in it, but I was still happy with them. After a few weeks of light use, hand washing and drying of the boards, I figured it was time to update this review and knock these down to 1 star. The boards do not hold up very well. Cut marks are deep, and they are starting to splinter. Another of the boards has also developed a split. Save your money and go with cutting boards from someone else. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought these cutting boards to cut down on microplastic exposure. This would be a 5 star review except that one of the boards arrived cracked (noticed while hand washing all of them before use). Despite the one cracked board, I did not return them, as I immediately started using the boards, was too busy to deal with it at the time, and the overall value was still there. These boards are great, the value is excellent since you get several of different sizes. I like that all sizes have the moat for juices, because sometimes you are cutting one or two chicken breasts or one steak and don’t want to have to grab a big board. I honestly am writing this review because I wouldn’t be surprised if the company sends me a replacement. If they do, I will update the review to reflect their customer service.
