Paweł Wocial & Kamila Tuszyńska

In the original context hair can be a fetish (trichophilia).

Cut hair becomes a waste worth nothing, abject, its meaning is removed. During the process of artistic creation, going beyond the area of usual objectiveness, organic remains take on the features of uniqueness, become a fetish.

Something becomes Nothing and then again Something, but Something other than the original Thing. This process of semantization – desemantization – resemantization is comparable to the principle of 3R: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, because specific recycling of meaning occurs.

Giving form and meaning to wastes change their ontological status and at last the way of interpretation. Meaningless object without name, abject, gains new meaning and is transformed into a piece of art
