Emika Sekine
In her works, the art student and sculptor Emika Sekine dedicates herself to “specters as positive retrospection.” Since the beginning of July, she has been working very intensively in the Sitterwerk studio on several sculptures that deal with possible broadenings of the imagination, and thus combining materials, forms, and surfaces into pictures: A piece of driftwood leans forward like a blind Narcissus, tumor-like growths made of elaborately laminated polystyrene are combined with industrially produced banisters. On the occasion of the Open Studios, Emika Sekine provides information about the works she has been creating here, which are inspired by old masterpieces, translated into the present in a precise and poetic way.
Emika Sekine's project was supported by Pola Art Foundation.
