all of a sudden, they are everywhere: my antennae, my fur coat, my hair.


self (work in progress)

Since July 2017, I am collecting the loose hair I find in my hairbrush. Using a felting needle, I make it into an object which replicates my own body dimensions, so that over time it grows into a life-size self portrait.

The Sound of Human Hair

After harvesting my hair at a length of 70 cm, I will use it to rehair a violin bow. Since the structure and resilience of human hair differs greatly from the traditionally used horsehair, the sound produced by playing the violin with it will also be different.
Icelandic musician Gyða Hrund Þorvaldsdóttir will play a continuous tone with the violin bow until the strings have cut through all the hair of the bow.
