For this object, Anne Marie Jehle used a hand-knitted sweater put over a globe and hung upon a valet stand to represent the physique of a pregnant woman. Visible on the globe in the lower area of the “female belly” are the Americas, whose geographic figuration inscribes itself into this imaginary body. “Die Welt” [The World] signifies the yearned-for unknown, the imagined “dark continent”, but is at the same time also “just” a ball-shaped (maternal) belly, relegating this forlorn figure to the domestic. In her poetic way, Jehle works here on the divide between the notion of motherhood and intimacy and the urge to reach out to the worldly and unknown. W.S.
