Leaning Wall consists of different groups of colored Meissen porcelains that upon closer inspection reveal the imprints of female and male body parts, widely dispersed and arranged not so much in an anthropomorphous as in an aesthetic way. We feel tempted to try and fit our own elbow, knee or chin into the colorful negative molds it offers. In the end the work is about the outer shell, our physical boundary with the world that often constitutes who we are perceived to be. That external frontier becomes a scattered identity, reassembled and displayed as a fragmented body on the wall.
