about

Marie Charlotte Elsner is an artist currently based in Leipzig and Karlsruhe.

Her artistic practice is increasingly drawn toward exploring broader narratives. These often revolve around themes of domesticity, gender, and class. Insights are typically structured and developed from personal experiences and memories, which are then translated into words, objects, and installations. A central curiosity lies in understanding how things are made and how they behave—an inquiry conducted both through material experimentation and self-reflection. Ultimately, the immediate impressions of this research remain as works in their own right. The process of organizing these thoughts has a manic quality—streams of thought are documented in black and white, yet they are merely snapshots of an ongoing process of understanding. What drives this work is the search for in-between spaces: the rapidly shifting states and the act of positioning oneself within these structures. In the end, this perpetual search within a constantly changing world defines the deeply human aspect of her practice.

During her two years of undergraduate studies, she developed a deep interest in digital materialities. Since spring 2024, her work has primarily focused on 3D printing and 3D scanning, combining these techniques with organic materials to create a dialogue between two thematic realms that hold personal significance.

Objects of Care

08/2023 3D-clay-prints/ video work/ artistic research
The 3D ceramic printing is examining the visualization of getting in touch. The first impulse for this work came up, when I watched old videos of me as a child. My grandfather filmed my whole childhood and recapped it in 6 hours of my first years. The scenes, when my family got in touch with me, attracted my attention and I wondered, how interpersonal contact directs you in your childhood.
The skin receives external signals through Aß-fibres, which conduce to a fast sensory channeling. In 1993 scientists discovered CT-fibres on
human skin, which is also part of the tactile converting system, yet they handle information far better differentiated and channel them way more slowly. For example they can react to touches of similar body temperature. CT-fibres are known as „Second Touch System“ and have a great
impact on interpersonal contact. Additionally to the scenes of my childhood, me and my closest family members moisturized each others hands,
so I could experience and capture a simple skin contact of care. After my theoretical research about interpersonal contact in childhood and its impact on our development and behavior, I presented the information in my class and asked my fellow students to form little s culptures of clay according to my lecture. With one sculpture they should practice warm touch and imagine to activate the Second Touch System. The other one should be treated roughly in order to activate the Aß-fibres. The results served as an inspiration for the shape of 3D-Clay-Prints. I created two different shapes, which I printed over and over.
