Sara Masüger, To Us and All the Others, 2022
Sara Masüger was a guest at the Sitterwerk Foundation's Atelierhaus for four weeks in summer 2022. During this time, she produced the edition «To Us and All the Others» for the Sitterwerk Foundation in close collaboration with the Kunstgiesserei St.Gallen, in addition to further developing several works by invitation.
The bronze cast is based on the hand of the artist Michel Auder, who was a guest at the Atelierhaus at the same time as Sara Masüger: «On the first evening of my stay, I met Michel Auder (...) and we had dinner together. I noticed his hand with all the finger rings and bracelets. We had wonderful conversations. Michel gesticulated a lot, and there were always these rings on his hand. This image made such a strong impression on me that I wanted to make a work with his hand. I asked him if I could remove his hand with alginate and he agreed immediately.» The edition has been given a raw cast patina, which captures the iridescent character of the raw, untreated cast skin.
