Even with my hands above the covers, I am the most dangerous on my way

Signe Vad 2016

Martin Bryder Gallery, Lund

"Selv med hænderne over dynen er jeg den farligste på vej" var en udstilling, der kredsede om det ubevidste, ønsker og drifter. Signe Vad brugte bloddråber og bombastiske groteske former som en psykodynamisk tilgang, der havde til formål at adressere den kulturelle kodning, hæmninger og skam.


"Psykodynamik: en psykologisk betegnelse, der refererer til samspillet mellem psykologiske kræfter (f.eks. behov, impulser af seksuel eller aggressiv karakter, følelser) i personligheden. Ifølge psykoanalytisk teori skabes psykodynamik af ubevidste psykologiske kræfter såsom driftsoverskud og forsvarsmekanismer. Disse vil bestemme både barnets og den voksnes personlighedsudvikling, såsom adfærd, fantasi, symptomer og motivation."

Even with my hands above the covers, I am the most dangerous on my way' was an exhibition that revolved around the unconscious, desires and urges. Signe Vad used blood drops and bombastic grotesque shapes as a psycho-dynamic approach aimed at address the cultural encoding, inhibitions and shame.


"Psycho-dynamics: a psychological term that refers to the interaction between psychogical powers (eg needs, impulses of a sexual or aggressive nature, feelings) in the personality. According to psychoanalytic theory created psycho-dynamics of unconscious psychogical powers such excesses and defense mechanic. These will determine both the child and the adult personality development, such as behavior, fantasy, symptoms and motiv.” (http://denstoredanske.dk/Krop,_psyke_og_sundhed/Psykologi/Psykologiske_termer/psykodynamik)

ven with my hands above the covers, I am the most dangerous on my way
I caress my inner and gives birth to a lump of dried blood

flushed out with upbringing
discharges psychodynamic explosions in small drops
and make imprints

we all mix blood

Homo Carnosa!
