Jan Matýsek’s series of photographs explores the theme of collective touch and shared care for the invisible. We encounter three figures who are intently touching something that cannot be seen. The only part of the images in focus is their hands, clad in work gloves lined with fur on the inside. These aids, used in tantric massage, as well as the figures’ nudity, the phallic shape of the invisible object, but above all the very title of the series, open up space for erotic imagination. However, the phallus to which the title refers cannot be understood merely as the materialisation of the artist’s sexual desire. In Matýsek’s approach, it takes on cosmological qualities. It reflects an erotic relationship with the world: the principle of connection, penetration and reciprocity. Here, the phallic principle does not signify dominance, but rather generative power, passionate joy, the vitality of matter, playfulness and constant creation. The hand gestures evoke care, healing and integration – the process of a loving search for balance, both individual and cosmic. Love emerges here as a cognitive force. In the spirit of Sufi metaphor, it becomes the ‘astrolabe of divine mysteries’ and, through a transcendent touch, opens up a connection to a broader, non-human order – as that which dissolves the boundary between the visible and the invisible, between the knower and the known.
