Our relationships with the objects around us and the way we move among them are central topics within Nuri Koerfer’s sculpture practice. Her works often take on the shape of animals, but even without any recognizable form they confront us with something that has been alive for a long time, often longer than us. The crocodile, for example, is one of the oldest animals that exist, and while it was a small lizard among the creatures of the Mesozoic, nowadays it is considered a giant. These chairs are an invitation to pause in time and overcome the habit of approaching art only through the gaze. Please sit down, feel your body getting into contact with these other bodies, and consider a fundamentally different education of being with them.
