Present Absence

DAMn°: “I detect an invisible presence hovering between the individual meanings and histories of each piece – your own or those of the museums’ collections. Would you also describe this ephemeral linkage as a work of its own?”

benandsebastian: “Absolutely. We see Phantom Limbs both as a single work and as a series of fragments. The Phantom Limbs exhibition creates its own ghost network of implied absences. We see these absences as having the capacity to link things together. When someone loses an arm or a leg, it is the continuation of sensation in that amputated limb that allows the body to accept and employ a prosthetic limb as part of itself. We’re fascinated by this capacity for absences to create dynamic connections and these are at the core of the exhibition.”
