Sensual
Animated Shortfilm
4 Minutes
900 handpainted pictures
Sensual unfolds as an installation that works with animalistic and poetic metaphors to evoke experiences of intimacy and physical closeness during sexual foreplay. Through strong visuals, intimate touch and close physical connection are shown. Slowly, we let our-selves fall into our partner. “Sensual” invites you on a journey along the beautiful, strong, and at the same time vulnerable body of a young woman. We feel skin, warmth, tenderness.
At the core of the installation are around 900 hand-painted watercolors. They not only form the visual foundation of the film but are also presented in accompanying exhibitions as an independent, artistic work in dialogue with the moving image. In addition, I expand the smaller works with large-scale paintings that stand among them, opening pathways into further visual worlds Animals serve as metaphors for the partner’s body. Their physical qualities allow us to experience corporeality in an abstract yet tangible way. Intimacy, which is often difficult to depict, becomes palpable. Slippery and slick, soft and fluffy, sharp and biting.
As the artist and director of the project Sensual, I have found a way to turn inward and engage with my own emotions. My art allows me to explore emotional themes deeply and to give them a form where words often fall short. Through images , I give this inner world an expressive form and make it accessible to others.
The complete series consists of 900 pictures. Here you can see a small selection that gives you an impression of how the work develops.Buy a Picture
