    Jacquard tapestry

    "This jacquard carpet shows a hanging model in the mirrored image of a Parisian artist’s studio from the late 1950s. This way, a black entrance was created in the middle. In this context I am thinking of Kazimir Malevich’s Black Square and his fixation on the Cosmos, on the one hand. And on the other hand, of the vagina dentata (the all-devouring vagina) and the prima materia. And on top of that, Nietzsches concept of ‘eternal return’."
