SAVAGE BEAUTY
Ugliness is a stimulus that triggers a strong emotional response. Ugliness is a motor for change. In the work Savage beauty, Vanessa Ohlhausen critically examines supposed beauty and investigates where this can lead in terms of design. The light objects thereby transform into a hybrid being between human, nature and machine.
"Talk about beauty and you get boring answers, but talk about ugliness and things get interesting." (Rem Koolhaas)
Objects: concrete, wood, ceramics, shibori-textiles, brass casted in sand, stones
