Sascha Braunig at Foxy Production

Sascha Braunig’s surreal image suggests a mannequin coming to life and questioning its captivity to an unseen source on the back left. Thin grey sheets standing in for arms seem to occupy another dimension, offering the hopeful possibility that this mildly struggling figure will slip away by unexpected means. (At Foxy Production on the Lower East Side through April 2nd).
