The wall sculpture Phalynx was created from the idea of a defensive nature. Through human´s ruthless treatment of its environment, evolution has produced creatures that fight back. Phalynx is inspired by the maw of a deep-sea fish. The title comes from the medical term pharynx and has been slightly modified to refer to a fictional, mythological level. The association with a vagina dentata brings a feminist perspective to the work and points to the struggle against the male-dominated suppression of nature.

Femicides leave gaps, feelings of powerlessness and speechlessness. But something else is created within us. The cracks are there. They remain. But something is happening in the cracks.

Daniela Trinkl and Rachel J. Müller explore this something that has nestled alongside pain, fear and awareness of danger - but also anger. In the encounter between sculpture and language, they create space for this in-between. It develops a power, it spreads, it provides comfort and, above all, courage like a talisman. In the dialogue between object and sound, the artists create a play of contrast and dynamics, showing that between the cracks a breeding ground for defensiveness, solidarity and empowerment is created.
