Yvonne Dröge Wendel is concerned with the relational and performative abilities of things, a theme that touches on present-day questions about our relationship to the material world around us. She sets up experimental encounters and aims to capture what it is that objects actually do. Rethinking the subject-object distinction and reworking our understanding of what it is for humans and non-humans to constitute a world is the main focus point of her artistic practice. In her solo show at Lumen Travo gallery Droge Wendel shows how the inside of the Thing Tank that she wants to build might look like. Dröge Wendel reduces the qualities of her objects to an understandable measurement, since our relations to objects are already so complicated and we bring so much of ourselves when we analyze them.
