"Geister" ("Ghosts/Spirits"), porcelain, steel, 2008, 12 pieces

The large ceramic sculptures “Geister” (Ghosts) were originally created for a Rococo palace in southern Germany, built around 1770 - a time when porcelain manufacturing in Europe was in full swing and dancing ballerinas were one of the favorite motives. In this “Ghosts” series, the faceless dancers resemble the whirling dervishes who dance themselves into trance as well as the “undead” returning to haunt the living. Haase’s images of these supernatural beings evoke beauty and uncanniness at the same time. With no faces showing, they hide themselves under blankets or skirts - not allowing us to recognize their true nature and identity. The German word for ghost, “Geist” stands not only for the returning ancestors but is also used in the sense of mind and spirit.
