Neïtah Janzing: Hands and Skin and Us

In the Schaubude Berlin’s window, an animals’ spirit is stretched to dry in a frame. Displayed

in the ancestral method of skinning an animal, this sculpture wants to create a relation between the animal we are using – as food, clothes, transport – and ourselves. It wants us to consider the place we, human, are taking on earth, in regard of the rest of the livings. Claws, or fingers, in the middle, like the teeth in the spirits mouth, ready to swallows us into its abyss…

And the Hands? They are preying. Preying on us.
