Emma Lenzi: in-between II

What about the things you do *not* see? Emma Lenzi's perspective deals with what is being omitted ...

This artwork is part of our campaign "Perspective matters". With start'19 in mind, we asked artists what they saw in the apostrophe from our event logo – or if it even is an apostrophe in their eyes. The responses to this call for entries revealed a multitude of perspectives that we want to share with our readers. More information about the campaign can be found HERE. 

Emma Lenzi, in-between II, Carrara marble, ca. 96 x 24 x 10 cm

Emma Lenzi has given new meaning to an older work of hers for our campaign. "The apostrophe is a synonym for something missing or invisible. Several years ago I developed a cycle of works in which I created steles from Carrara whose theme was defined by the breakthrough, i.e. 'the omitted'," she says about in-between II. What is omitted often leaves more room for thought and new perspectives than what stands in front of you. So what do you see?

Are you inspired by this perspective? Don’t hesitate to show your own, then! To get you started we have prepared a craft template – download it HERE. As part of our campaign, we want to encourage everyone to look at their own perspective and maybe re-think it. While making such a small sculpture, you have the best opportunity to turn both things around: the paper sculpture and your own perspective ... we're curious to see what comes out of it!
