Verena Bachl (*1985, Wörth a.d. Donau, DE) follows a post-minimalist approach in her sculptures and installations, characterized by a strong conceptual foundation. By employing charged materials—metaphorically and physically—such as marble, silicon, fluorescent tubes and magnets, she stages matter and its interactions as works of art. Some of her works incorporate industrial objects as architectural structures through which she explores the potential of material memory and processes of storage by means of energy and information. The presence of her chosen materials often evokes both mystical and digital associations, allowing physical phenomena to transform into sculptural form.

Her practice unfolds through a dynamic collision of material autonomy, ephemeral abstraction, and the elemental forces of physics. Light and energy permeate her installations, immersing her sculptures in synthetic atmospheres that oscillate between the archaic and the futuristic.

By staging functional objects as relics—stripped of their original purpose and reimagined as ambiguous artefacts—Bachl creates speculative scenographies. These juxtapositions of minimalist form, technological implementation, and contrasting textures of metal, glass, and stone open a poetic space of uncertainty, resistance, and the irreducible presence of the unknown.
