Devouring, digestion and cocoreç

"Trains pulled by steam locomotives ran incessantly in and out of the main hall, which was like a vessel for these powerful machines - a kind of mechanical coitus," says Eva Fàbregas in an interview about the exhibition. In this industrial monument called Hamburger Bahnhof, which the artist can imagine as a "giant mouth" or "womb", she has put something organic, something amorphous, which is a contradiction in terms, because nothing here is shapeless and without form. The preoccupation with the corporeal forces itself upon us: Tubers, spherical tubes and balloon chains everywhere, writhing forms in elastic fabric. Construction foam? Flower pollen? Marshmallows? The mustard-yellow, pink and lilac-colored lycra bags hang from the ceiling like snot and slime, winding around steel beams and reaching for me with nubby tentacles. A museum employee says that one visitor is eaten and digested every day.
