| book description |

In his work, Benedikt Hipp combines numerous media, including ceramics, painting, and video. Growing up in a traditional craft business producing votive offerings made of wax, serially produced representations of body parts were part of Hipp's everyday family life. He began exploring the human body himself at an early age. To this day, he continues to investigate the body as a fragment, a hybrid being, an emergent system, and a site of ritual and social action. At the heart of his work is the question of the perception and transformation of the human body, its vulnerability and transience. The book presents exhibitions and works from recent years with a special focus on the ceramics that Hipp produces in his two self-built high-temperature wood-fired kilns. The book's title is borrowed from the multimedia ceramic installation (2021-2025) that was on display at the Triennale Kleinplastik Fellbach in 2025.
