CRAB

Crabs do not grow steadily. Their shell cannot expand — to grow, they must break it open and leave it behind. In this vulnerable in-between phase, the old armor no longer protects, and the new one has not yet hardened.

Growth, in this sense, is not smooth progression but rupture, exposure and uncertainty.

CRAB inhabits this moment of tension between pressure and release, containment and emergence. The installation combines photography, video, sound, objects and light to create a spatial, immersive environment. Rather than offering resolution, the exhibition lingers within fragility, ambiguity and transformation.

Developed in collaboration with dancer Shannon Walsh, whose live performances activate and expand the work into physical space, the exhibition moves between stillness and motion, interiority and expression. The performances take place on March 13 and 14 at 8pm.

Charlotte Hansel is a Berlin-based visual artist working across image, text and spatial formats. Her practice centers on perception, emotion and the human psyche, investigating how personal experience intersects with social structures and collective narratives. Her projects often emerge from research-driven processes and material experimentation.
