A body in water, between comfort and unease. Sylvia Plath’s bathtub —
the surface breaks, knees rise like small icebergs. The familiar turns
strange.
“Ungemütlichkeit” – discomfort – seeps in as something more than a mood:
a state, a slow immersion. Here, unease is not rejection, but material.
It sticks to the skin, softens the edges, makes things blur.
Between the personal and the poetic, the emotional and the bodily, the
works in two knees jut up like icebergs move through this fluid
discomfort – circling what trembles, what feels too alive or too close.
Like Plath’s tub, the exhibition reflects and distorts what’s beneath
the surface: a fascination with what won’t stay still, what resists
being pleasant – tender, anxious, and vividly real.
