In glühendem Rot liegt eine Figur in Kobaltblau: nackt, jung, schutzlos. Sie ist
umgeben von einer dichten, beinahe übermächtigen Menge entindividualisierter
Körper. Silhouetten und übergroße Hände – greifend oder starr vor Entsetzen –
rahmen die Szene ein. Die als einzige liegende Figur erscheint wie ein Neuzugang
in einem zeremoniellen Kreis: Frischfleisch, eine fremdartige Energiequelle, ein
Objekt der Begierde.


Was zunächst wie eine Initiierung wirkt – eine symbolische Aufnahme in eine
gesellschaftlich geächtete, zugleich aber vom Betroffenen begehrte Gemeinschaft
–, offenbart sich als möglicher Übergriff. Die übergroßen Wesen starren gebannt –
nicht aus Empathie, sondern aus Gier, Faszination und sexuellem Hunger. Es ist
ein Moment geladener Ambivalenz: zwischen Kontakt und Kontrollverlust,
zwischen Anziehung und Bedrohung, zwischen Verbindung und Ansteckung.
Verbreitung / Contagion thematisiert die Angst vor Kontrollverlust: vor
Vereinnahmung durch ein Kollektiv, vor der Unberechenbarkeit sexuellen
Begehrens, vor dem Ausgeliefertsein. Die Arbeit berührt gesellschaftliche Themen
wie HIV, sexualisierte Machtverhältnisse und Gruppendynamiken – aber auch
intime Fragen nach Reinheit, Verletzlichkeit und der Dialektik von Berührung,
körperlichem Austausch und Gefahr.


Die Szene ist rituell aufgeladen – eine kollektive Choreografie, in der Grenzen
verschwimmen: zwischen freiwilliger Hingabe und struktureller Überwältigung,
zwischen Sehnsucht und Projektion, zwischen Realität und Übergriff. Die
übergroßen Hände stehen zugleich für Schutz und Vereinnahmung – sie
symbolisieren Machtverhältnisse, kollektive Schuld und das Unausgesprochene,
das dennoch spürbar bleibt.
Das Bild spricht von Entgrenzung und Entmenschlichung, aber auch von tiefer
Sehnsucht nach Zugehörigkeit – und der Angst, sich darin aufzulösen. Es
konfrontiert mit gesellschaftlich und individuell geprägten Vorstellungen von

Reinheit und Gefahr, Intimität und Bedrohung, Körper und Kollektiv. Die
expressiven Kontraste zwischen kühlem Blau und glühendem Rot – einer Farbe,
die für Blut, Gefahr und das schummrige Licht in Darkrooms steht –, sowie
zwischen Licht und Dunkelheit, verstärken die emotionale Spannung. Die Körper
bleiben bewusst unscharf – Schattenwesen zwischen Realität und Projektion.
Diese Arbeit ist Teil eines Triptychons, gemeinsam mit Verbindung / Connection
und Verurteilung / Condemnation – drei Zustände im Spannungsfeld zwischen
Nähe und Distanz, Identität und Auflösung, Selbstschutz und Kontakt.

This company makes great toys for pitts!!
Color: Blue/Medium, Size: Blue, Color: Blue/Medium, Size: Blue
Our pitt LOVES this toy. The rubber is reeeaally tough. It’s well designed because it’s a slippery surface. You can tell from the video there’s a lot of squeaking from him trying to get a good grip. He found a pretty good spot to hook his upper teeth into the crevasse, but his bottom teeth kept slipping. As a side note, I wouldn’t leave any toy home alone with him that’s about 3 inches or smaller because dogs can choke on it, but that doesn’t make this any toy or company any less amazing. For toys I would leave home with a power chewer, take a look at that 4inch red ball made by this same company. He hasn’t made a dent in that thing and you can put treats in it. :)

Takes a beating - looks like new!
Color: Blue/Medium, Size: Blue
EDITED AGAIN, 12/28/22: My boy still has his original blue one of these and the yellow one from way back. He's received a couple more over the years which he's managed to sneak out of the house and lose - evidently neighbor dogs or perhaps foxes, etc love them, too, and carry them off?! At any rate, he'd managed to get himself back to his original two, so I bought him a late Christmas present of a new yellow bone. He just opened the package (with help, of course - he's smart, but lacks the necessary opposing thumbs to do it on his own) and he was ecstatic! He reached into the mailing envelope, grabbed it, gave it a couple of triumphant tosses then ran for his bed, pulled a blanket in, and has been chewing, fighting with, burying in the blanket and "discovering" it for about a half hour now! I don't know what the attraction is, but he still loves these things and they're still lasting! The only other toys that have lasted more than a day are Nylabones (because he won't even look at them, let alone touch them) and a set of interlocked skinny rubber rings that he's not at all interested in, but if I ask about them, he'll move them around the room for a couple of days to make me feel better! LOL EDITED TO ADD 2022: Here I am, back 5 1/2 years later to say my dog STILL has this bone and makes use of it a couple of times a week. And he still loves it and sleeps with it. He has gone through a couple of the smaller version (yellow instead of blue) over this time frame because those get constant use. But that’s amazing in itself!! These are still the only toy I would call indestructible. Great toy! I have a dachshund who destroys toys in record time. I can hear the amused chuckles now, but anyone who has seen him in action (including rottie, pit bull and Doberman owners) is in awe. He is very methodical and relentless - the mad genius of dog toy torture! Small and quiet but utterly ruthless. Anyway...my boy has been working on this since the beginning of October and the thing looks like new! I think you can see one tooth mark, otherwise it looks untouched! This is a dog who can reduce Kongs and other rubber toys to a pile of chunks in minutes. But he also LOVES it - carries it around, brings it into his bed at night to sleep, and when his doxie brother (who is far too dignified to do dog toys) doesn't feel well, it is offered up as a "feel better" snuggly...for about 2 minutes. But it's the thought that counts, right? I don't know what makes this so attractive to my mini-Jaws and so long-lasting, but it works!

HEAVEY Duty!
Color: Blue/Medium, Size: Blue
Almost not destructible! My dogs chew through 99% of the toys we purchase, but never this one! The medium size is good for our Doberman with jaws of steel!
