SETAREH

Lexia Hachtmann, Pauline Rintsch, Johanna Seidel

Info: SETAREH is excited to announce the upcoming group show, You & I are Earth, featuring works from Lexia Hachtmann, Pauline Rintsch, and Johanna Seidel.⁠ In 1661, an anonymous artisan in London shaped a shallow dish, glazed it white, and inscribed it, in uneven cobalt letters: You & I are Earth. Three and a half centuries later, the plate resurfaced from the ground. Its message, personal and universal at the same time, feels surprisingly contemporary. It reflects on matter itself, on the fragile condition shared by all living and non-living things. Made of clay — the same earth that shaped its maker’s hands and our own — the plate condenses in six words the circularity of existence.⁠ This awareness forms the pulse of You & I are Earth. Each artist explores through her own language the liminal threshold between human and environment, the intimate and the planetary. Their works echo the plate’s reflection, tracing what it means to exist within a continuous field of energy.⁠
