Drawing inspiration from both science and mythology, Verena Bachl creates  artworks that combine archetypal symbolism with objects and methods of industrial mass production. Her works illuminate pressing contemporary issues and challenge stereotypes by creating a speculative scenography for her combinations of minimalist form and technological implementation with contrasting textures of metal, glass, and stone.

Light installations immerse her sculptural works in a synthetic atmosphere reminiscent of their natural model, revealing visions of a future already in decay. Elements of the electronic and industrial age are combined to create a form of techno-organic proliferation.

In her current works, Bachl approaches production systems not with confidence in their usefulness, but with quiet skepticism. She treats machines and functional objects not as tools, but as relics—structures stripped of their original purpose and transformed into ambiguous artefacts. Her works are reminiscent of devices whose use has been forgotten, or that never existed at all. By evoking the aesthetics of function, Bachl opens a space for uncertainty, poetic resistance, and the irreducible presence of the unknown within a world characterized by efficiency.
