How big would Naja Zethner be if she were a centipede?

In the newly opened Platform exhibition "Clocks", artist Naja Zethner explores drawing as a living system of body, time and movement. A series of large coloured-pencil drawings of spiral-shaped centipedes takes the artist’s own body as a measuring instrument. Like clock faces, the articulated forms become images that measure, adjust and point – between microscopy, ecology and choreography.

In "Clocks", Zethner asks a simple question: How big would she be if she were a centipede? Using the span of her outstretched arms as an axis, she draws, measures and translates a circular movement into another imagined body.

The exhibition "Clocks" is on view until 26 July. Read more about the exhibition.
