In her series Wounded – from which she also shows a work at Bärenzwinger – Fürnkäs uses goatskin as a medium, which is connected with small objects or written onto. The physical presence of the skin, which once served as a form of parchment, seems prehistoric and brutal in its new function, as well as vulnerable and with a perceptible appreciation of the material.
