Jule Tabea Martin (*1992, Germany, lives and works in Berlin).
"Real human hair extensions and false nails represent a certain standard of beauty, of expectations. In my artworks these two materials play a main character.
They are postmodern, sometimes called hyper feminine materials and considered as artificial attributes of femininity/ the human body.
I understand these materials (following body-art artists of the feminist avant-garde of the 1970s) as a logical expansion of the body. A human body is/seems to be present, without simply being displayed.
Decontextualized and isolated they reveal their potential as material as such, as objects. They offer new meanings to well known symbols. Objects become vital and humanized."
