Kerstin Brätsch's artist's book shows on 72 pages the reproduction of a marbling with the same title in a scale of 1:1. Brätsch realized the paperwork. which measures 274.3 x 1.82.9 cm, together with the artisan Dirk Lange. For this, paint was dripped into a water bath in an elaborate process, which was then absorbed by a sheet laid over it. The work, which is characterized by the rich detail of digital renderings and on which one can make out a skull with an open cap, shimmers between abstraction and representation. The black book cover, which has a thermal effect, reveals the underlying motif only when touched by a warm hand.
Kerstin Brätsch, *1979 in Hamburg, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin und New York City. Studium Columbia University N.Y.
