I have to touch this - Kira Fröse

Abrasive and attractive at the same time

Kira Fröse's work often misleads you.

It is abrasive and attractive at the same time. Such as the work “Skinny Bitches”, which arose from frustration with packaging and tubes and the bizarre reality in which women have to take care of everything and be attractive and thin, the ceaseless pursuit of women's visual perfection.

With humor

And all this with a good dose of humor, resulting in these thin, almost out of context cosmetic products. With lots of overflowing drips of shampoo, ointment or toothpaste, almost visibly refusing to contribute to beauty ideals. They are apparently moving yet stagnant forms, but made of hard material.

You would prefer to touch it, is it glass, ceramic or textile?
