ABOUT THE ARTWORK

„The art of Petra Höcker is always centered around physicalness in her most rudimental form“ would be the most likely interpretation. It always will be a lifelike happening which radically escapes from regular mental activity. In some of her ink drawings of delicate, surreal poetry, the human body supports heads, but in a characteristic way these are bird heads, heads from „irrational“ animals. To have a body, to be a body in our daily mundane banality and existential mysteriousness is a precons- cious thing, something which happens independently from intellect and reason. Physicalness im- plies sensuousness and vulnerability, pulsating blood in the veins, respiration, the need for sleep, growth, skin and hair, blood and mucus, attraction and disgust, birth and death – all this where- with rational thinking will have more than di iculties. The heads missing in the pictures then return as objects, sometimes like pieces of meat hung at a butcher‘s hook, skewered on thin rods like trophies or stored as archival pieces in a shelving system. Provided with hair, they act like rem- nants of dark rituals, o en they seem decaying and amorphous, as they dissolve into pure organic materiality again.
