a skeletal carcass adds to the main volume. it goes partly through the shell and braces it as well as it builds a cage around it which fullfills the following functions: buffer; framework of the technical elements such as tank, turbines, mounting brackets and running of cables; hydraulic system to move, open and close variable parts.
    due to its functional character the skeleton follows the technoid formal vocabulary of robotic elements and digs into the flesh like surgical instruments.

the interior is not static and rigid but  flexible and reactive - when in use electronic impulses skulpt the material. the monolithic pieces shape the resin-like shell and result in different material thicknesses. there are no windows or whatsoever - to the observer the nature of the inside remains hidden. only the translucency of the shell and play of light, shadows and silhouttes link the in- and the outside.

I came across my client while watching a documentary about Haitian Vodou. The reporet is given the opportunity of attending a Vodou ceremony in honor of the Haition god of the graveyard. While wittnessing the surreal rituals a beautyful girl emerges from the crowd an aproaches him confidently. She stops but a few feet in front of him. Other ritual members tell him that she's possessed by Erzulie Dantor the goddess of love, art, sex and sensuality asking for his hand in marriage - awaiting an immediate response. Speechless, the reporter experiencing a combination of fear and attraction agrees. The girl kisses him, hugs him and disappears as he is talled that - should he ever have sex on a thursday with a woman other than her - he'll die.
