The background softly recedes, drawing the gaze toward the object — creating intimacy, inviting us to look closer, beyond the rhythm of everyday life. Like a still life painter, Gésine Hackenberg, through her Still-lives series, cuts, dissects, and recomposes vintage glassware into delicate wearable miniatures. Fragments of past lives settle into quiet compositions.
Objects of everyday life and domestic materials become a language to express and reflect emotions. Says the artist.
Reinterpreting classical genres, Gésine elevates humble, often overlooked objects into precious jewellery. The body becomes the canvas, carrying these contemporary still lifes into movement and presence. Familiar, tender, sometimes forgotten. Everyday objects hold the trace of those who lived with them. In Hackenberg’s hands, they become silent portraits, translating stories, emotions, and invisible bonds.
El fons es retira suaument, conduint la mirada cap a l’objecte, creant intimitat, convidant-nos a mirar més de prop, més enllà del ritme de la vida quotidiana. Com un pintor de natura morta, Gésine Hackenberg, a través de la seva sèrie Still-lives, talla, dissecciona i recompon vidre antic en delicades miniatures portables. Fragments de vides anteriors es dipositen en composicions silencioses.
Objectes de la vida quotidiana i materials domèstics esdevenen un llenguatge per expressar i reflectir emocions, diu l’artista.
Reinterpretant gèneres clàssics, Gésine eleva objectes humils, sovint passats per alt, a la categoria de joia. El cos esdevé el llenç, portant aquestes natures mortes contemporànies cap al moviment i la presència. Familiars, tendres, de vegades oblidades. Els objectes quotidians conserven la traça de qui els ha viscut. En mans de Hackenberg, es transformen en retrats silenciosos que tradueixen històries, emocions i vincles invisibles.
