Franziska Nast collects, transforms, draws and writes - on sheets of paper, skin, walls, floors, on any ground – with pens, with needle, with light and with high-pressure cleaner. In 2023, Nast was part of the group exhibition INNEN at Künstler:innenhaus Bremen. For her two editions INNEN auf außen – a sweatshirt and a tattoo edition – she has taken up and transformed the gendered part of the word. She uses a needle to draw it on fabric and skin. For her own fashion label Fack Fushion, which has specialized in upcycling used clothing for many years, the artist has dyed or decolored four sweaters, creating galaxy-like patterns on which she has embroidered the drawing.
For her other annual edition under the same title *INNEN auf außen, Nast has developed a tattoo motif that only fully unfolds on the buyer’s skin. In various sizes byers can get a drawing based on the embroidery on the sweaters tattooed in Hamburg. Tattooing has been part of her artistic practice since 2007 and is therefore a recurring part of Nast’s exhibitions.
