NÄCHSTE GENERATION

Tierknochen, Plastilin

2007

Raw and bare looking little figures partly showing their inner sceletal structure appear lively and appealing. The combination of dead animal’s bones and kid’s play dough is proposing a new evolution of creature. The bones once supporting a living animal are referring to a future past. Recasted and mutated, coated with a material that is highly transformable and adaptable these creatures seem to have accomodated with the challenges of a new future.
Using children’s plasticine to cast the form of his „Next Generation“ Wehinger brings together two materials that usually never get into contact. „Next Generation“ reminds us of the momentariness of the being and that one’s remains are the basis for the development of another.
