“Brightly lit hands holding a smartphone also form the centre of Girl You Can’t Post That (2025). Eight figures are gathered around a wooden table. Perhaps there are ten, perhaps less. Some appear only as shadows, others are transparent, and of some we only see individual body parts. Their faces are drawn from art history, pop culture, and the digital world: Botticelli, Kim Kardashian, Caravaggio, Anastasia from Disney’s Cinderella, Modigliani. Tall cocktail glasses are standing on the table; the yellow of the lemon slices stands out from the blood-red of the drinks. The image on the smartphone screen remains hidden from us. We can only see what it does to the figures: The Caravaggio-esque youth with the fragmented body is completely absorbed in the content. The figure reminiscent of Kim Kardashian pushes her index finger between her parted lips in a mixture of scepticism and coquettishness. Anastasia’s eyes are wide open. The Botticelli-esque figures are genuinely focused on the scene. The Modigliani-esque woman observes motionlessly; her hand, with its manneristic long index finger, rests against her face as if she had forgotten it there while being focused on the screen.”
