Hantrax Dolls is an ongoing experimental and non-intentional visual project, an ecriture automatique with fabrics, found objects and long lost memories. The doll like figures are reflective collages of daily life in a fantastic world.
With references to music, personal memories, philosophy and true stories Hantrax Dolls welcomes you to his permanent bubble, called fantasy world:

“Hi I just called to say I will stay in fantasy world, it makes me feel more secure, fairies tell me that outside this, in reality, feelings are more alive, great things can be felt, but every time I go in I’m aware of danger, mostly I translate those awakenings in a silent voice, one that whispers one that cares, when I feel brave I realise that it’s alright, reality is alright but I don’t always understand, fantasy world is a way of understanding, just letting you know I’m alright and that I understand.” Hantrax

For the exhibition opening Hantrax invited befriended artist to create a series of ‘artist-dolls’ wearing the label ‘Hantrax Dolls by …’.  The artist dolls will be on view in the Christmas tree throughout the exhibition.
