"Karin Hannak uses her hair as a graphic tool. The artist arranges it - upside down - to form a picture and presses a spray-treated image onto it. This creates collages that look like they were drawn with a fine, slightly erratic pencil, like a cloud that sometimes condenses into strong contours.

These capillographies are more than just a game of possibilities...
The artist contrasts transience with the power to overcome it. Her pictures are abstractions with an intended meaning. She transforms thoughts into structures, making the invisible visible. The traces of her hair come together to form a picture that begins to speak of what oppresses people and what is in people's hands to change..."
