Christian Vogt – Skinprints

Everything seems understandable if it has once been thought or experienced. This statement forms the basis for Christian Vogt’s “Skinprints”, a collection of thoughts reflecting observations, insights, and perceptions he has made over time. Among them are experiences that will be familiar to some, while others describe concepts that are more difficult to grasp, metaphysical experiences which are perhaps not so easily articulated. The printed words are in fact rubber stamp impressions on the skin and not image manipulation. The majority are written in English and applied to the palm of the hand, which Vogt has then carefully photographed.
