THOUGHTS ON THE SENSES / 1

The ear/ Isa Genzken

The ear is like a labyrinth, with its funnelled pathways that curve to cul-de-sacs. There's only one route in. And then...the brain does its magic, changing movement (vibrating particles in the air) into meaning (which is without materiality).

Some people love the feeling of their ears being licked.

For an artist's perspective on the ear as what might be called a 'sculptural receiver', we invite you to discover Isa Genzken's photographic Ohr (Ear) series, which she made in the early 1980s. Listen to an introduction to the work here.

The Sensual World is a curation of the most beautiful brands for exploring desire

a space for the sharing of cultural material,

and an ongoing series of events.
