THE ABSENCE OF PRESENCE

INNA KRAUZE
PRESENCE IN ABSENCE
Three facial prints embedded in a web of ropes attempt to hold onto the presence of a person disappearing into their own thoughts, connections, and searches for identity. Each face is at once a portrait and a disappearance, a revelation and a suppression. The ropes serve as a metaphor for inner entanglement — what binds, restrains, and confines, yet also preserves form.

One of the prints was created during a performance at the exhibition opening.
A ten-meter paper scroll imprinted with ropes materializes emptiness — an attempt to capture something that by its nature resists retention. Each movement of the rope leaves a mark —
a trace of presence, touch, and action. Yet at the same time, this trace becomes a sign of absence, as the body that left it has already departed.

The scroll becomes a chronicle of disappearance. It reveals gesture — the trace as evidence that contact has occurred.
