HEAD METAPHYSICS - Exhibition by Leo Bacharach

Leo Bacharach, born in Ukraine in 1983 and now living in Dresden, is showing his new photographic series "Head Metaphysics" at the Full Moon Gallery. The works explore human existence in all stages of life, from pre-existence to loneliness, in the form of sculptural heads made of synthetic, fragile materials. Printed on vinyl and presented as large-format outdoor banners, the works invite the viewer to reflect on metaphors of identity, transformation and transience.

The journey begins in astral space: polyethylene skulls float in water under the open sky, symbolising souls in pre-existence. From there, life unfolds through increasingly corporeal yet uncanny forms - a newborn made of tubes and tiles, a ghostly paper golem, a living adolescent in disco reflections, a jumped academic figure. Adulthood appears pierced and burdened. Then comes the break: the "Broken" head reveals vulnerability, while death manifests itself as a charcoal grey relic. The last head, barely visible and transparent, turns towards a soft point of light: loneliness.

Each sculpture is handmade, faceless and free of sensory features - deliberately dehumanised, but symbolically dense. "Head Metaphysics" is a meditation on the shape of being, its stages and ruptures - an invitation to encounter our inner archetypes in stillness and action. 

From 2 to 30 April 2026, Full Moon Gallery invites you to explore the photographic series "Head Metaphysics", to pause and immerse yourself in the symbolic heads and their visual language. The works open up a journey through the phases of life, offer new perspectives and encourage you to question and reflect on your own perceptions.
