Emotion

[3-4] "There are three further works from D.P. in an adjoining room. The work 'With Hair' and 'With Skin' were completed at the turn of the century. They are three dimensional objects constructed from very different materials.

They combine artificial and organic surfaces together with photo prints and neon light. These pieces, created at the millennium, are together a part of her and also a reflection of her position as an artist; The hair photographs are photographs of her hair and the skin photographs are her skin.
D.P. plays with the material. One moment she shows enveloping material like skin and felt another growing material like grass and hair. She is reflecting on the position of the artist who to function, can not internally distance themselves from their work but in fact work with body and soul.

The photographic series "Überschreitung" [Crossing] was developed from video stills of a large installation in the Heiliggeistkirche, Landshut. 'Überschreitung' from 2002, which used the complete exhibition space, belongs to the most important works of the artist."
