Female Factory by Elsa Sahal at SETAREH Berlin
Dive into Female Factory, where the clay and the flesh, the body and the ceramics become one. Sensual, obscene, bordering on the grotesque, the substance flows like lava, constantly redefined by a logic of its own. Elsa Sahal approaches the history of the sculpture, erectile because essentially male, with the gauge of feminism guided by the principles of horizontality and chaos. The nauseating malleability of bodies becomes the wellspring of new fluid corporeality: emancipated from any standard, crossed by the incandescence of their desires and the permanent excitement of an elsewhere.
