81 buttons with incorporated pubic hair
81 tableau's with basic personal data of its former owners
Tableau size: 10 cm x 10 cm; Button size: Ø 4 cm; installation
size: 100 cm x 100 cm (variable)
Reminiscent of the insect collections of natural history museums,
Gerald Zahn presents a badge collection of public hair samples
he received from voluntary contributors.
The project is a witty homage to the times when depilation wasnt
yet a social and sexual norm and when a badge showed political
conviction and life philosophy.
Im Stil einer Insektensammlung eines Naturhistorischen Museums
werden Schamhaare unterschiedlicher freiwilliger SpenderInnen
in einer Buttonsammlung präsentiert.
Eine augenzwinkernde Hommage an die Zeit in der Körperenthaarung
noch keine Norm und der Ansteckbutton ein Zeichen für politische
Überzeugung und Lebensphilosophie war.
