Jessica Pooch (*1982, DE) Zürich

Jessica Pooch investigates the behaviour of the body and architectural space in her work. For her impressively precised installation Your Structure Is My Skin (2015) she utilises standardised modules found in sanitary engineering and creates an unusual spatial structure with a very recognisable material that evokes a strong, phys­ical sensation upon entry. We find ourselves in a room that, in daily life, serves to guarantee the least amount of intimacy and are confronted by a sub­di­vided yet open setting where sharp defensive spikes on the walls threaten us—an impressive work that questions how we behave in spatial structures in daily life and how we interact with objects in a space.
