Experimental prototyping opens up the horizon for new options of application and processing: Leather for example is won from the outer skin of animals. But what if we tan less remarkable, inner skins, like pig’s bladder? Wood, meanwhile, is usually worked into a smooth surface, counter to its natural growth. But how can the natural wood structure become visible and tangible by brushing without having to smooth the material? By bringing inner structures to the fore, Lavinia Hausner and Christian Lutz show otherwise unnoticed properties of wood and leather in their exhibition, thus initiating a change of perspective towards material processing.
