When I was in Kassel during Documenta 13, I went jogging. Because research has pointed out that being active makes you happy. And when I came back and sat down, a sunbeam hit my leg.
Warm and nurturing it was explicitly touching my naked upper thigh. Like the head of a dog lovingly and attentively laying his head on your lap. I did not want to move away. For a brief moment, the tactility grabbed my attention and I stopped thinking. For seconds I felt content and happy.
This photograph is of this moment. And it is also the first photograph of the beginning of the series Sun-Penetrations.
The flag (curtain) was made for my Solo-Exhibition Sun-Penetrations at Burnrate in Berlin (2015).
A Certificate of Authenticity is added.
