Deal ▷ Dermatoglifo Invadente by Vanessa Bonino, 2021 | Resin sculpture

Dermatoglyphics, each of those skin furrows that draw lines and vortices on surfaces digits of a hand, enhances prehensile, adhesion, and tactile functions. We leave a lot of fingerprints around the world and don’t realize it. At our passage, we leave our mark on living beings, disfiguring their essence and existence. We force the deviation of others with each of our passages. A little bird lands on an end that seems to be a quiet place, but instead, it finds itself being incorporated by this digital footprint. In this case, in my work, just like in reality, the tactile presence of humanity also incorporates what is most profound and delicate. Every living being becomes the cause and/or consequence of others. You act directly, and with touch, you invade other people’s space, their thoughts, hopes, etc. You dream and you don’t realize it, or you don’t realize you notice it.

The sculpture weighs approximately 40kg and will be shipped in a wooden crate with a total weight of 55kg.
