Matthias Odin:

Plan B. Part. 3: Soft Skin

Dvir Gallery

Paris, France

curated by Léo Panico-Djoued

According to the Zohar, or Book of Mystics, skin is the tunic that is said to have clothed Adam and Eve after the Fall. A paradoxical garment, it is both what separates the individual from the world and what enables a relationship with it—simultaneously a point of contact and a boundary. It is this permeable zone, this site of passage and inflection, that Hudinilson Jr., Matthias Odin, and Nobuko Tsuchiya each explore in their own way, revealing skin as a sensitive space where self-perception, relations to others, and construction of new imaginaries intersect.
