Alena Schmick - Love Crash
Nov 16, 2022
During shows of strength bodies merge into sculptures. Reddened skin and
tense muscles, grasps and embraces, power and intimacy.
Are we seeing lovers or fighters? A couple or opponents?
My work Love Crash is a playful observation of the boundless
intensity of the human body. Through the use of close cropping, I
focus on the materiality of the skin. At the same time, the strength
of the subjects seems to break open the picture frame.
