Overshadowing is the effect where describing a face — either in one's own words or through a given description — can make it harder to recognize that face later.

The Broken Windows Theory claims that visible destruction in public spaces leads to increased crime. However, research has debunked this, showing that social factors are significant. Rather than a causal theory, the "Broken Windows" series explores an aesthetic deeply rooted in the present — emerging from the interplay of shattered glass and torn curtains.

2019 - 2023
various dimensions
Basis Rho - glass remnants, concrete, sand, minerals

The series PNTG are 32 experimental paintings created using the material Basis Rho. Invented by the artist duo Jeschkelanger, Basis Rho preserves the uniqueness of discarded glass remnants. Taking various forms — flooring, wall cladding, or sculptural objects — it transforms into functional artworks.

Jeschkelanger worked on fourteen float glass panes using lead glass paint. Workshop staff packed them randomly, integrating protective materials into the work — an unconscious collaboration where chance and packaging completed the artwork to five final pieces.

fur coats in artist frames

Before large glass panes existed, stretched hides covered windows to block the wind. Fur coats, once valuable heirlooms, are now often discarded. Windows reverses these skins, exposing the markings and seams of furriers — revealing a layered history of craftsmanship and material transformation, which was mostly in the hands of women.

Fustigazione continues the Airtime series, where traces of time and vandalism emerge not only through painterly gestures but also through tears and abrasions on the canvas fabric. The images reveal details of the Tomba della Fustigazione, a heavily damaged Etruscan tomb depicting both combat and erotic scenes.

The Tomb of the Diver (c. 470 BCE), is a limestone slab depicting a solitary figure diving into water. The vibrant fresco symbolizes transition, possibly the passage to the afterlife. The series Airtime highlights details of Tomb of the Diver using Punic wax, the alleged material of ancient painting, as a tribute to the lost art of painting in antiquity.

"I took it too seriously and sacredly; I did not think about the fact that I am a girl. No one flattered me with such a remark. No one thought of me so thoughtfully, as would have been necessary to make such a remark to me—one that I would have obeyed, even if at first I had played the outraged one."
Hedwig Tanner from The Tanners (1907), Robert Walser
