YCC – Two knees jut up like icebergs

two knees jut up like icebergs

A body in water, between comfort and unease. Sylvia Plath’s bathtub: the surface breaks, knees rise like small icebergs. The familiar turns strange.
In this exhibition, “Ungemütlichkeit” – discomfort, seeps in as something more than a mood: a state, a slow immersion. Here, unease is not rejection, but material. It sticks to the skin, softens the edges, makes things blur.

Between the personal and the poetic, the emotional and the bodily, the works in two knees jut up like icebergs move through this fluid discomfort – circling what trembles, what feels too alive or too close. Like Plath’s tub, the exhibition reflects and distorts what’s beneath the surface: a fascination with what won’t stay still, what resists being pleasant – tender, anxious, and vividly real.
