Fragile Surfaces is a research project by Anna Łuczak and Jakob Forster, in which they experiment with porcelain casting and the way that patterns and shapes can be formed on the surface of freshly cast porcelain dishes. Looking at esoteric practices, they research the ornaments and signs created as their byproduct. In times of insecurity there often is the need to look for answers that science doesn’t provide, elsewhere. With this project they reflect on the moments of the suspension of disbelief when one turns to magic to find directions.
