WITALIJ FRESE
CONNECT AND DISCONNECT

Between vulnerability and blunt realism, Vitalij Frese presents the human body in his antique-like ceramics as a fluid, mythical, highly politicised and ever-searching entity. The prominent position of sexual characteristics, which have become the interface of bio-philosophical concepts of social selection, seems inescapable. In connection with this, the black and beige ceramics address fundamental questions of self-perception, body image and personal identity. Thus, Vitalij Frese challenges our traditional definitions of being a body and questions dichotomous notions of gender. Thousands of years of hierarchical vision have distorted and disoriented the naked human being, but also constantly reinvented it. Frese juxtaposes this historical gravity with his hand-shaped ceramics without forcing their classification: neither as an art form nor as gender. Fragile and smooth, the earthen body shells want to be carefully filled - with meaning without dogma, with all that animates them.
