Skin of Thought

Perception begins at the surface. In subdued light, with minimal movement, and through a focus on subtle shifts, the space itself becomes a sensitive skin. Here, thoughts do not emerge as self-contained units, but as something that touches the body, attaches itself to it, and penetrates it. Skin of Thought describes this sensitive surface where inner processes emerge outward and become visible.
The project brings together artistic positions that engage with imprints, transitions, and permeabilities. At its core is the relationship between inner states and outer forms: How do memory, imagination, physicality, and collective narratives inscribe themselves into images? How do assumptions about the self and the world become visible when they liquefy, embody, or fragment?
Neža Peterle’s Aqua Aquae explores the visual dialogue between humans and nature, between the body and water. The series addresses cyclical processes of transience and renewal and conceives of water as origin, medium, and movement all at once.
Johanna’s MIDVŌR is dedicated to fantasy worlds in adulthood. In carefully crafted roles, costumes, and in-between worlds, a sense of belonging, identity, and safe spaces emerge. What appears to be play proves to be a serious stance toward the world.
Fee’s Anomalies follows narrative fragments of digital shadow zones and captures images of a search for truth that rubs against longings.
Thus, the surface itself becomes a site of negotiation. Not as a boundary, but as a permeable skin where transience, identity, and truth intersect. Skin of Thought brings together works that do not explain the inner world, but make it experiential: in flow, in play, in the tentative search for meaning.
