Wax
” ”WAX” Is
an exhibition about life -
Dreams, Hopes And
horror. As a child I
could spend hours looking thru the store windows where lonely mannequins
stood in wedding gowns. At that time mannequins where made out of wax,
and who haven’t as a child, used imagination and build their dreams
out of modeling wax. Today I’m
still fascinated by those mannequins and torsos. The stiff and unreal
life, eyes looking out into the empty air. They represent all our dreams,
the latest fashion, everyday clothes or the sexy underwear. But it is not
only the nice dreams that emerges, because suddenly in a window you’ll
see the lover body, an arm, a leg or bare hands. The
factory the mannequins are manufactured is truly terrifying it is like
taking a walk thru a prison camp, My thoughts wandered to the, extermination camps in
Germany, and my eyes could see pictures from Yugoslavia and Rwanda. There were
boxes with blindfolded and severed heads and hands warding themselves from
terrors and reaching out for good fortune. The fantasy
takes a swing. I changes the color - I make things disappear and appear- out comes
