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 combining industrial and architectural components with glass, metal, and stone, she explores how their physical properties and inherent structures shape their interaction with space.
Drawing on functional objects and technical systems, Bachl investigates states of suspended function and latent potential. Familiar structures are transformed into altered material or geological conditions. Light, movement, and energy permeate her works, taking on sculptural form.
Through interventions into existing objects and structures, Bachl shifts their established logic. Elements detach from their original systems, exceed their intended purpose, or reach beyond their own boundaries. Occupying an ambiguous territory between infrastructure and relic, the works create atmospheres of latent tension, material instability, and unresolved transformation.
