Everything Has an End only the Sausage Has Two
This playful and surreal series explores the quirks of German idioms, their origins, and their often unexpected English translations. Born in the Black Forest to a German father and an English mother, Alma Haser grew up bilingual, an experience that sparked a fascination with language, wordplay, and the poetic absurdity of literal translations. With many of the works taking shape as three-dimensional pieces, Haser transforms idioms into visual interpretations, blending humour and history to invite viewers to see language in a new and imaginative way.
